Chococco Fat Bombs

A delicious LCHF treat to try. Keeps well in the fridge and works great as a treat in a lunch box or for a get-together!

A word from Chef Craig: These Chococco Fat Bombs are silky smooth and are the perfect option for an LCHF treat.

A word from The Whole Food Dietitian, Caryn:  For those of you that need that extra carb hit, particularly if you’re doing the type of exercise that requires added oomph for those high intensity moments, these “bombs” are for you. For the less active of us, these should still be considered sweet treats.

A word from The Fat Professor, Grant: These are a great treat to take out when you are training all day. Put in a zip lock bag and eat when you feel like it.
