  • The candy hardens as it cools. Once cool, crush into tiny bits.
  • NOUGAT: Meanwhile make the nougat. In a heat safe medium bowl place 1/4 cup of butter, 1/4 cup sweetener and stevia if using, cream cheese, 1/4 cup natural peanut butter, 1 tsp vanilla and heat until soft and stir able (I heated in microwave for 1 minute). Stir until well combined.
  • Add the nugget to the tiny bits of crispy fat bomb. Stir well. Pour into a 4 x 4 inch glass Tupperware container lined with Parchment paper. Smooth over the top. Place in fridge to set.
  • CHOCOLATE COATING: Make the chocolate coating by melting coconut oil over low heat. Stir in chocolate, natural sweeteners, extracts and salt until completely melted.
