Keto Toffee
When I think of classic holiday treats, cracker toffee is one of the first recipes that come to mind. This was one of mine and my sister's favorites to make at Christmas when we were kiddos.

Theresa says
Can fat bombs be put in a cookie tin, lined of course, to give to friends or will they melt?
WholeLottaYum says
Sorry this is delayed! My wasn't showing me new comments. You'll want to make them, store them in the freezer and have them put them in the freezer right after delivering them so they'll keep their shape!
TerraFirmaTX says
The mint ones call for powdered sugar....? Not exactly keto.
WholeLottaYum says
Thank you so much for pointing this out to me! This was an accident on my part, I've added keto and low carb substitutes to the post so people can still make this recipe. Jen
Stacey says
