Low Carb Samoa Cookie Truffles (aka Chocolate Covered Caramel Coconut Candy)

August 16, 2018 By faith Leave a Comment

Inspired by the deliciously addictive Girl Scout cookie, but with just 2.5g net carbs per truffle, these Low Carb Samoa Cookie Truffles (aka Chocolate Covered Caramel Coconut Candy) are the perfect trick to have up your sleeve when a craving hits.

Let’s face it, we all get chocolate cravings. One afternoon I couldn’t get Girl Scout cookies out of my head (Samoas are just a little bit evil like that, lol). I knew I could remake a keto-friendly version of Samoas, but I wanted something a bit different.

Because they’re a great keto tool to help reach your macros, I make a lot of different types of fat bombs. They’re always a good option when you want something that feels like an indulgence, but is actually rich in healthy fats. In addition to Girl Scout Cookies, keto fat bombs were another source of inspiration for these truffles….

Low-Carb Paleo Almond Butter Chocolate Bars is a delicious take on real-food candy with just 2 g net carbs per serving!

Now that we’re finally past the mid-way point of January, spring is basically right around the corner (at least that’s what I’m telling myself!). Admittedly, we still have quite a way to go, but at least one of the coldest months is mostly behind us….

Low-Carb Chocolate Peppermint Candy

This homemade Low-Carb Chocolate Peppermint Candy is a healthy take on one of my favorite wintertime treats: Peppermint Patties! Full of healthy, real-food ingredients, I think these are 100 times better…and each piece of candy has just 3.5 grams of net carbs! (These candies are basically what is known as a “fat bomb” in the low-carb high-fat/keto world!)

Aaaaand, just like that, it’s candy season once again. (Because apparently Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and Easter are just not enough, lol.) But Christmas candy is some of my favorite candy (hello, fudge, caramel pecan turtles, and candy canes! s), and I’m always up for the challenge of remaking treats with a healthy spin….
