Neapolitan Fat Bombs
When I was a kid, I loved sitting on my front doorsteps before dinner, especially because it meant my favorite treat - Neapolitan ice cream from the ice cream man!

No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
I've been seeing a lot of pins on Pinterest for recipes on No Bake Oatmeal Power Bites. I wanted to create a keto friendly version, with a similar texture in mind. Because they're no bake, they're extremely simple to create and don't take much time or effort. Instead of using regular peanut butter, we opt to go with the powder due to the absorptive properties.
