My love of low carb cookies is no secret, and these Keto Chocolate Fudge Haystacks are right up there with the best of them! Primarily because they are no-bake, and therefore ready to eat in as little as five minutes! Also, they are intensely chocolatey, chewy and creamy at the same time, and they fall into the fat bomb category, so you can eat them anytime and not even feel bad about it! #allthewinning ?
This Keto Chocolate Fudge Haystacks recipe was born of my desperate desire for something sweet and chocolatey RIGHT NOW, coupled with my being too lazy and impatient to want to actually bake something – or wait for said something to be ready to eat. This pretty much describes my low carb life lately.
If you can relate, then this is your low carb cookie recipe my friends. #lazyketochocolateloversunite
The shredded coconut in these Keto Chocolate Fudge Haystacks makes them chewy and cookie-like, and the nuts add a pleasant crunch and earthy flavor. If you are allergic to nuts then you can certainly omit them, or if you have a specific nut preference, you can sub in your nut of choice.
If you’re a fan of fruit and nut bars, you can throw in a couple of dried cranberries or cherries (or ewww, raisins) into these keto cookies, but be mindful of the extra carbs if you do.
Mr. Hungry and I have been grabbing one of these no bake keto fudge haystack cookies for breakfast along with our coffee on busy mornings, and I’ve found that it easily keeps me satisfied until lunchtime! They make a great after dinner treat too – or pretty much whenever you want a blissful few bites of creamy chocolate goodness!
My handy dandy cookie dough scooper is in storage in New Jersey right now, so I just used two spoons to form my keto haystack cookies. It’s much easier and faster if you do have a scoop though, so I’ll be bringing one back on my next trip to the States!
These Keto Chocolate Fudge Haystack Cookies are everything you want in a low carb chocolate cookie fix! Quick, easy, delicious, creamy ANDÂ crunchy, and they’ve got that sweet /Â salty thing going on if you like that sort of thing! Which I do. A LOT.
Can’t wait for you to make these and hit me with your feedback in the comments!

These look wonderful! I admit…I keep seeing this term of “keto” everywhere lately and don’t know much about it!

Love these! I made them last week during my first week of keto. We were stuck at home during a blizzard so I had to sub ground cacao nibs for cocoa powder (would highly NOT recommend this!! ?). I used roasted almonds in place of the walnuts and salt and this was very good. The one thing I discovered is that I hate the taste of cold butter. Huh. Who knew? So this time I subbed 1/2 coconut oil for 1/2 the butter and it was perfect. The other thing is that after several years without artificial sweeteners, even the Swerve confectioners, which I think is quite good, still has that aftertaste in larger amounts. So I tried just using 1/4 cup and it was great. I’m taking them to myvwry non-Keto parents house this weekend so we’ll see what they think! Thanks Melissa!!
Shellie says
Thanks for the share about coconut oil. I was thinking of substituting as well since I have a huge bucket I need to work through. (I buy coconut oil in those 5-gallon pails and this batch has lasted forever and needs to go!!)

OMG I love haystacks. I’m definitely making these for our Christmas Eve celebration. Thanks!
Judy says
I just made these! Crazy delicious! Thank you for the recipe. I didn’t have unsalted butter, so I just left out the salt and they’re superb!
Bobbie says
These are incredibly delicious! Thank you for all your recipes! I have all of your cookbooks but must admit the sweets are my favorite and keep me on track! My children love these too. I keep them in the freezer and try and enjoy them just one at a time!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks so much Bobbie, glad the whole family is enjoying them! I like your idea of storing them in the freezer – it makes them just a tiny bit less accessible and limits the tendency to have “just one more” lol!
cindy says
Do u use granulated or conf sweetner?
So many recipes online don’t specify
Thank you for all u do , I have tried many
Of your recipes and luv them all
So grateful
Mellissa Sevigny says
Either will work, but if you have the confectioners it will definitely give you a smoother end result!
