Instructions

  • First, line a muffin tin with muffin liners and spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Next, prepare chocolate layer.
  • Start by melting around 1/2 cup coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. If your coconut oil is hard, this should take around 30 seconds on high until fully melted.
  • Then, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to measure out 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil and set the rest of the coconut oil aside for the peppermint layer. Add 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil to a medium bowl.
  • Next, add drippy almond butter, maple syrup, and peppermint extract and mix until combined.
  • Add cocoa powder and salt and mix again until smooth.
  • Place around 1 heaping tablespoon of the chocolate layer onto the bottom of 12 muffin liners. Then tap the entire muffin tray to make sure everything is even.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 10 minutes to firm up a bit.
  • While the chocolate layer is hardening, prepare peppermint layer.
  • Place chilled cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 30 seconds to melt it, but not burn it. You want the consistency to be smooth and creamy*.
  • Then, add 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil and mix until smooth. If you have leftover melted coconut oil, you can pour this right back into the jar.
  • Finally, add in peppermint extract and maple syrup and mix one more time until smooth.
  • Once the chocolate layer has firmed up a bit, you can spoon on the second layer.
  • Using a 1/2 tablespoon scoop, scoop around 1/2 tablespoon of the peppermint layer on top of the chocolate. Repeat until all 12 fat bombs are filled.
  • Then, tap the entire muffin tray to even things out.
  • Finally, sprinkle on smashed peppermint hard candies and mini chocolate chips.
  • Place in the freezer for at least 2 hours to fully freeze.
  • Once frozen, remove fat bombs from the muffin tin and store in either an airtight container or in a freezer-safe gallon-size bag for up to 3 months.

Tips & Notes

  • Cream cheese: the cream cheese needs to be warmed up or it will seize when it mixes with the melted coconut oil.
