Macadamia fat bombs

If you read my previous post on making Coconut butter bombs,
you pretty much know what I am about to do.

The main addition is the whole organic macadamia nuts. While some paleo authors are against nuts in general, others allow limited nuts. If you allow nuts, it's hard not to make macadamia nuts one of your treats.

First I put my macadamia nuts on the candy mold. Then I ate a bunch of macadamia nuts. Apparently 20 is a serving so I had about 20 and used 21 in the Fat Bombs, so let's call that one serving. That should be 20 grams of fat (for just the nuts), and 2 carbs and 2 protein. From my previous measurements for the recipe (which was short of making a full rack of treats, so just right for this), the macronutrients were :

1 tbsp dairy butter (12 fat)
3 tbsp cocoa butter (42 fat)
3/4 cup coconut butter (100 fat, 16 protein, 40 carb)
2 tbsp cocoa powder. (2 fat, 3 protein, 3 carb)
then add in 20 more grams of fat and the 2 carbs/proteins and we get errrrr....
176 fat, 21 protein, 45 carbs.
Divided by 21 is um... carry the four... Throw away the four, get out the calculator.
8.4 fat, 1 protein, a little more than 2 carbs

Mmmm, crunchy!
