I’ve always had a soft spot for Mint Slice biscuits here in Australia, my kryptonite on the ketogenic diet, but with these easy little Peppermint Fat Bombs… well, I’m no longer inhibited by my weaknesses. From here on in, I can push past the mint slice and straight onto these perfect peppermint fat bombs for a healthy, high fat snack on the go.
Have you ever seen the packets of mint slice that Arnotts make? I’m not going to show you because triggers like that I find aren’t particularly helpful when trying to keep your mind on track and stay focused on the healthy diet you’re on.
Regardless, these fat bombs are legit. I cannot express my excitement greatly enough about these. As an ex-sugar addict, I can safely say that these are satisfying enough to only have one (WINNING!) plus they still stay chewy straight out of the freezer.
Have you ever made coconut fat bombs, removed them from the freezer, gone to take a bite, then realized you’re missing teeth because the damn thing was rock hard? Its happened to me on multiple occasions… okay maybe not the missing teeth part, but you get my drift.
Recipe Tips
I used cupcake molds for these little beauties. You can probably tell by the ripple shape along the outside. If you have silicone cupcake molds, feel free to use those instead as I’m all about reducing waste and finding better options than just relying on disposable items.
I keep these peppermint fat bombs in the freezer, and it usually helps to remove them from their casing before placing them into a container or re-usable Ziploc bag.
I hope you enjoy these peppermint fat bombs and be sure to download the Free Fat Bomb Recipe Book for more delicious recipes just like this one.

My powdered ertyrotol and peppermint essence can’t be incorporated into the coconut oil. What’s the trick?
Hmmm, mine worked really well. Maybe try an electric mixer?
I just made these and the erithritol did not combine with the oil. Are you sure the measurements are correct? One tablespoon of Erithritol? Maybe it should be a teaspoon. I tried heating the oil a bit moreand I tries an eectric mixer. I have a photo if you want to see it.
Hi Rick – I’ve answered you via email.
Hi Aaron
Can you use Natvia as a sweetner in these? Would the measurements be the same? Thanks
Yup, you sure can! same measurements.
Thanks mate for the time you put into these and sharing them 🙂
I came across these and they are a hit with the kids.
Albeit, I didn’t have the Sugar Free Dark Chocolate or the Powdered Erythritol, so a couple of minor alterations there.
But they still do the trick.
I’m gonna try them with strawberry and orange flavours next time as well as the peppermint still. I’ll admit I have a mint biscuit addiction as well.
Hi Aaron, do you also post exercises. Have a bad back and severe arthritis in my knees. So I would some to go along with the keto diet, can i subscribe to you somewhere?
Hey Heidi,
I don’t currently, but I was thinking about putting together a program. Would you be interested?
I’m pretty bad at portions and figuring out macros. Are your nutrition facts listed per one peppermint cup?
That is correct 🙂
I also follow the ear right for your type and I have avoid coconut oil. Is there another oil or fat that I can use for fat bombs? They all seem to call for coconut oil.
Sure! use butter instead.
Hello Valerie, I practice the Eat Right for Your Type diet. I spoke with the people at D’Adamo Eat Right For Your Type. I wondered how & why coconut could be bad for anyone. They said they had to put it in their literature because there was a study that showed evidence that coconut oil “may contribute to heart conditions” or something to that aspect. That’s it. They can (& do) say that about all fats. Now, we know that fat is good for us. Personally, I believe that information is obsolete, but the Eat Right For Your Type people put it in there to be on the safe side, kind of like a disclaimer. I believe coconut and coconut products are good for everybody. Do consult with your own health care practitioner though.
Could i use unsweetend dark chocolate, or cocoa powder?
Of course!
Aaron, thank you for all the time you take to make and post recipes for us!
Thanks, Dyanne 🙂 Really appreciate it!
