Step-by-step
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast them while constantly stirring.
- Transfer to a dish when the pecans are darker and smell toasty. They'll toast even more while cooling.
- Roughly chop the pecans. I like to leave them in larger chunks.
- In a small saucepan, combine coconut butter, ghee (or butter), and coconut oil and heat over low heat until melted.
- Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt, as well as a sweetener and/or grass-fed collagen, if using.
- Divide the chopped pecans into a silicon mold of your choice. I filled them into 12 mini cubes.
- Pour the heated butter and coconut mixture over the pecans, dividing it evenly.
- Freeze for at least 30 minutes until the fat bombs harden.
- If you don't have a silicon mold, you can pour the mixture in a small container, freeze, then cut into bite-sized squares.
- Store in the freezer or the refrigerator.
