On my "to make" list are the tidy mess and fat bombs
Can someone link me to recipe or post one please? Thanks
 
@pms543 I've tried a few fat bomb recipes and have settled on this

Base of coconut oil and coconut butter - roughly 50/50 but varies according to how much I have in the cupboard. I melt the oil in the microwave, then add the butter and melt that in too

Then I add either dessicated coconut or nut butter, and a little stevia (you only need a really tiny amount), And so far I've experimented with adding raw cacao powder, vanilla , peppermint and orange extracts.

Stir well, especially if there's nut butter in there, then pour into little moulds or fairy cake cases and refrigerate.

Really quick to make, and set in about 15 minutes. You can just fiddle with the proportions till you find your favourite.

I find I often crave something sweet after a meal. And these are just sweet enough to satisfy that.

I find the Shard things the wife makes are brilliant for my sweet tooth ... in a bowl just melt a square of 80% dark chocolate, with a big table spoon of coconut oil, a few tea spoons of almond butter, pop in the microwave till liquid .. add a hand full of chopped almonds, melted and mixed .. cover a flat backing tray with cling film, let the mix cool slightly and pore on to the flat tray, sprinkled with sea salt and pop into the freezer ... ) yummy .. when frozen you can lift off the cling film and break in to chards . put int a freezer bags ready to eat ... I sometimes also have coconut flakes or berries in it .. It need to be eaten soon after taking out of the freezer ..
