"Nestle Crunch" Fat Bombs

Oh yes, they taste like a nestle crunch bar! You can thank me later ;)
1/2 C. organic Coconut oil
1/2 C. grass fed butter or ghee
2 tbsp baking cocoa
dash of Himalayan pink salt, or sea salt.
1/4 tsp coffee extract
1/4 C. lightly crushed plain pork rinds.
10-15 drops of Stevia, or sweetener of your choice.

In a small pan over low heat melt butter (or ghee) and coconut oil. Once melted add salt and, cocoa.
take off heat and stir in sweetener and coffee extract.
Here is the hard part. put in refrigerator for about 10 mins. make sure it's cool to the touch, or your pork rinds will absorb the fat not giving you a crunch.
Add lightly crushed pork rinds and stir. 
Pour in molds and freeze till set.
Store in freezer.

Wheat Free Bliss Faux Apples

Hands down, the best!!! I fool all my non-Wheat Belly family with this recipe! From this recipe I have made Faux applesauce, fried apple turnovers, apple pie, apple crumble, apple coffee cake. I have several batches in the freezer for when I get the urge. It's great to use all the organic zucchini that I've been blessed with this year.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

 Wheat Free Bliss Faux Apples

2 tablespoons ghee or unsalted butter
3 tablespoons bacon drippings
1 cup peeled zucchini, seeds removed and cut into coins and then crescent
sweetener to taste (I use stevia about 14 drops)
1/4 teaspoon maple extract (make sure to check ingredient list for hidden wheat/sugar)
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract (make sure to check ingredient list for hidden wheat/sugar)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Pinch of Himalayan pink salt
Pinch of chipotle pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon apple extract, if you don't have use extra raw apple cider vinegar


Instructions
Melt the butter into the bacon drippings.
Add the zucchini and saute until it is crisp tender, and a little browned. This helps keep the "apple" crunch.
Add the remaining ingredients and simmer until liquid is reduced and nearly gone.
Stir very often.
Taste and adjust sweetness/seasoning.
