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!

Thank you Melissa for this greta recipe. Just made these right now and I am waiting for them to finish chilling, although I did lick the spoon. (yum) I added a little bit of brewed coffee to the mix. So easy to make and will definately be making these again.

These are so, so good! I used almost double the amount of coconut because I love it so much, but also because I’m the only one in my family who does. So nice to know I have delicious treats no one else will steal from me ! ?

These are easy and tasty. Subbed 1/2 the butter with coconut oil. Used sliced almonds. The coconut oil made it very coconutty, which I love!
