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 AND crunchy, and they’ve got that sweet / 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!

Just made these as part of my meal prep. I se them as a bit of sweet with lunches and sometimes an evening cravings buster. Great recipe!
Lisa says
Skipped the nuts. Had them all for a snack today. Coconut so crunchy and delish. My husband that hates “keto” loved them. Thanks.
Lydia says
What else do you think could replace the coconut? Not a huge fan but love haystacks! Any thoughts appreciated! Thanks
Vi says
Add more nuts till get consistency you like. At least double what the recipe calls for.
Amanda says
These were amazing and so quick to make. Thank you!
Savannah says
I just made these and they were so good! The only thing I noticed was a tiny bit of graininess. I used the granular Swerve and I think it must have been that. Next time I’ll try the confectioners kind. Thanks so much for your great recipes! Lemon Almond Cookies are next! :D
Susan says
These are amazing! I used pecans rather than walnuts because I like them better…the problem is that 2 of us finished them off in 2 nights so I have to make another batch for work :-)
Melissa says
I do love an easy recipe and these look yummy :) Saving this one for later. Thank you!
Shellie says
I made these two days ago and they have really great flavor. Super delicious. Thanks for sharing.
I used NOW Foods Erythritol. (I look forward to trying Swerve as soon as I run through this bag.)
My fat bombs had a graininess issue — the sweetener was gritty. I was storing all the balls in a glass storage container so last night I just microwaved and stirred them until they were bubbling and kept tasting until the chocolate was smooth. Then I popped them into the fridge. This morning I grabbed (dug out) a spoonful and they are really smooth.
I’ll just leave them on the counter a while and cut them like fudge.
Great reason to have the powdered version of Swerve.
Savannah says
That’s a great suggestion! I just made these and I found them just a tad bit grainy. Not enough to put me off though. :)
Marsha says
Powder your own erythritol or swerve with a magic bullet! No reason to have to buy granular and powdered.
Lisa says
Hi! I’ve been using xylitol as a sweetener with great Results! My dentist approves very much since xylitol actually protect teeth from decay. I’m really ĺooking forward to trying more of your recipes! Keep the yum coming! I was able to skip the keto flu and am down 10 Pou ds so far. I’ve also stated my day with bullet proof coffee.
