Yes!!!! You found your way.
I used to make peanut butter chocolate ones. I think I just googled fat bombs. Tons out there.1 -
Here's a site. I don't make them often because I found them too tasty and something I would over eat. Many folks do just fine with them. In the end, an Almond Joy fat bomb is a better low carb choice than those made by (now) Hershey's.
(IMO).

You probably don't need to get your fat up.
Are you LCHF for fat loss or is it for medical reasons?

I make super strong Bengal Spice Tea (any flavour works) then mix in 1c coconut oil and some gelatin. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze or refrigerate. They become these yummy little Bengal Spice gummies.4

Bengal Spice Tea is the best tea.

Add some meat and diced pepper and garlic to this, and it sounds like soup I make from time to time.2 -
My honey bought me a fat bomb recipe book on Amazon. It is AMAZING. I don't have it with me to know the exact name but it's something like Fat Bombs for a Year.2

How is it that folks have enough calories in their food budgets to afford eating fat bombs?0

Beats the stink outta me. I haven't ever had the problem of having calories left over. I've always been a very hungry caterpillar! 5 -

When I first started keto I was eating them because they were good. And I basically ate them as my food... so you can imagine how amazingly nutrient dense my intake was for a while. Lol
I was a sweet addict so I was making dessert ones. If it meant I ate less other food so I could have it, then I just ate less real food.
Learned my lesson!0 -

Meal replacement, haha
Same with bulletproof coffee. You essentially have to make it your breakfast/meal or it just does not fit in calorically!1 -
It depends on what your allowed calories are...I calorie cycle to fit with my lifting, and I do find I have a hard time eating enough on the high calorie days because the food is so filling and satisfying.2

I have plenty of room for fat bombs though I don't make/eat them (often) since I like the sweet ones and would over eat them. My favorite was just like eating an Almond Joy. In fact that's what it is called. Almond Joy Fat Bomb: coconut oil, coconut, sliced almonds, 100% cocoa and stevia. Has some nutrients in it.
Here's why I have room:
I often eat fish which is not generally fatty, so need fats.
I prefer lean meats to fatty meats, so need fats.
I really don't like chicken skin, so need fats.
I honestly don't eat much bacon or sausage, so need fats.
I'm not a big cheese eater, so need fats.
I'm not a fan of butter on vegetables, so need fat. I like cabbage with butter.
I usually cook my eggs in the microwave without fats, so need fats.
I love salads but don't like to douse them heavily in dressing, so need fats.
I eat about 1500 calories per day and average about 100 grams of fat, 100 grams of protein and 50 total carb grams. In lieu of not eating fat bombs, I eat seeds, nuts, coconut, avocado, my preferred cheeses of cream cheese, blue cheese, feta cheese, parmesean cheese (the latter 3 on a salad). Whatever works and is sustainable.
If fat bombs keep folks on track and help them lose weight/reduce hunger/reduce cravings...I say go for it and find a way to fit them in!5 -
I don't count calories, I only count carbs and I make sure my fat grams are more than my protein grams. I eat anywhere from 1250-1600 cal a day based on what my diary says and I have homemade buttered coffee every morning with my breakfast.
I will soon be adding MCT oil to my coffee/salad's too 1 -
I guess, for years I've dieted low fat..
Now eating low carb, high fat is so new to me..I just have to re program myself..I drink black coffee and tea, so can't add cream. Eeew
I seem to have trouble making my fat count.. Maybe I need to start cooking in coconut oil more.. Again, I'm used to low fat... I'm learning1 -
My butt is my fat bomb ATM. But once I'm in maintenance...you bet your sweet bippy I'm gonna make fat bombs.8

I've really have to rethink food and find foods that fit my personal taste and preference. Nuts have been something that over my years I have not typically eaten because they are so darn easy to over eat (especially when salted). Today, I might enjoy 3 servings of almonds (3 ounces or 84 grams) and call it lunch. According to the package I am looking at 3 servings would equate to a whopping 510 calories but it is lunch. It would also provide 42 fat grams (a good thing for me in light of my other preferences), only 6 net carbs (18 total-so fits my 50 total per day) and 18 grams of protein. According to the packaging it would also provide the RDAs of 60% of suggested magnesium, 75% of suggested vitamin E, 24% of suggested calcium & 18% of suggested iron. 600 grams of potassium.
I'm not one to lose sleep or obsess over nutritional values of food. I do find it interesting and give it consideration in my chosen LCHF way of eating.4 -
Since I started fasting several times a month, I find it nice to have fat bombs, I do the almond joy type one. I no longer stop in front of the chocolates in stores, because mine are so much better. I load up on fats after a fast for a couple of days. One day it might be fat bombs, others it might be extra cheese (gouda or brie anyone?) or maybe I want/need macadamia nuts. But most of my simpler IF days, I use homemade salad dressings, and avo or EVO oils for cooking, along with whatever is in my meats.
So I think fat bombs have a place, you just can't over eat them.4 -

Y'all are making my day today.6 -
I just don't think our great grandparents were eating fat bombs. Isn't that what we are trying to get back to?
I have about 10 pounds of fat bombs around my waist and on my butt and thighs.6 -

I made some but don't know how to add pic0

I don't have exact amounts, but for a savory fat bomb, soften full fat cream cheese, stir in chopped green olives and a splash of Worcestershire. Add hot sauce if you like. Chill and roll into balls. Toast almonds and chop finely. Roll the olive balls in toasted almonds.3
