If you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s low carb and sugar free, then you’ve come to the right place!
Let me begin by saying… I used to be obsessed with Almond Joy Chocolate Bars!
Well, to be fair, I was obsessed with anything coconut… Lol (and still am)!
If you feel the same way, then you need to try these.
The inside of these fat bombs are soft, creamy, and sweet just like a regular Almond Joy.
In fact, when my boyfriend took his first bite, he couldn’t believe how good they were! You know when a healthy recipe passes the boyfriend/husband test, it’s a keeper 😉
By the way, these fat bombs are…
- Gluten Free
- Keto Friendly
- Paleo Friendly
- Vegan Friendly (if you use dark chocolate)
Low Carb Almond Joy Fat Bombs
This almond joy fat bombs are a great low carb snack recipe if you're on a low carb or keto diet.
Ingredients
For the Fat Bombs:
- 1 C. Coconut Cream (the cream that sits on top of a can of full fat coconut milk)
- 2 3/4 C. Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 3-5 Tbsp Low Carb Sweetener of choice (I like birch xylitol, monk fruit, or stevia)
- 1/4 C. Almond, chopped
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 1.5 Tbsp Coconut Oil
- 1.5 C. Sugar Free or Low Sugar Chocolate Baking Chips
- Low Carb Sweetener, to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add all fat bomb ingredients. Mix until fully combined.
- Separate into 12 roughly equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, place onto a baking sheet or plate. Freeze balls for 2 hours to harden.
- Once balls have hardened, you can make the chocolate coating. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add in the coconut oil. Once it melts down, add the chocolate chips and continue heating through until chocolate is fully melted. Then, add the sweetener, to taste. Transfer chocolate to a small dipping bowl.
- Remove fat bombs from the freezer and coat each ball with the chocolate coating. Feel free to sprinkle on some chopped almonds or shredded coconut.
- Storage: I like to keep a few stored in the fridge if I plan on eating them within a day or two. For the rest, I'll keep them stored in the freezer and then defrost them in the fridge a day before I plan on eating them.

Hi,
Wondered if you happen to know the marcos on these?
Unfortunately, I haven’t calculated it. But, I’m designing a brand new site where I’ll be incorporating a nutrition profile on all my recipes 🙂
Hello! What is the carb amount for 1 serving?
Currently, I don’t calculate the nutritional info for recipes, but I’m designing a whole new website that will have this info.. sorry! But, just take the total # of calories, fat grams, etc. and divide it by the # of balls you make.
Verywell has a calculator
Oh Yum I will defiantly be giving these a try.Ive been looking for some different fat bombs, the last two I tried I didn’t enjoy the texture so much. thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! If you love the texture of shredded coconut, then you’ll love these. It’s one of my favorite fat bomb recipes so far! 🙂
To those asking for macros… ms chandler if u don’t mind of course, I made these. The only change was I didn’t have unsweetened chips so I used 2 Giardelli unsweetened baking bars to equal the 1 1/2 cups of chips. I calculated the macros based on getting 12 balls from the total recipe…
Cal 281
Fat 25
Protein 4.5
Carb 9.5
That’s per ball.
Sorry, please let me correct. I believe the carb count would be significantly lower using the dark chocolate unsweetened chips….
Sorry last correction. Not lower using chips I miscalculated… original macros are correct, slightly more using chips, depending on brand.
Sorry for the confusion. I love this recipe and definitely great for a day when I don’t have a lot of carbs coming in!
So I know u approve or deny all the comments maybe just leave these last two out 🙂
Thanks Lauren!
I loved the recipe, I find it very easy to do. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks!
Hi Kayla, I’m interested in knowing about the development of your new website with nutritional info for recipes. This sounds great! I opted not to take your course just recently cuz I’m having such problems with ketogenic WOE that I decided to go low carb only & see if that will help me lose my last 10#.
Listing the nutritional info is one lessstep for me & I look forward to it. Thanks! I always look forward to your recipes & now more than ever. 🙏
With deep regards,
Lori Sherman-Appel
Hey Lori! I completely understand. My stepmom was on a super low carb diet prior to doing my program without any weight loss or energy levels. After doing my program, she lost 20 lbs in 6 weeks. So, if the low carb doesn’t work for ya, you may benefit from doing my program 😉 http://www.KaylaChandler.com/21-Day-Program And, yes, the new website is still in development. I can’t wait to add nutritional info for each recipe! 🙂 Stay in touch!
