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!

Great recipe!! Definitely satisfied my hubby’s sweet-tooth & they are a childhood favorite of his. I added a teeny squirt of liquid stevia, as he really likes sweet. I also added hemp hearts & ground flax.
The only issue I ran into was the erythritol didn’t dissolve, so they are grainy. Any tips on a fix?
Mellissa Sevigny says
Try using the superfine confectioner’s style erythritol and you shouldn’t get a grainy texture – glad you both enjoyed them!

I made a single batch of these awhile ago and they were pretty tasty. Today I decided to double it but when stirring the coconut and nuts in, it seemed like it needed more, so I tripled the coconut and nuts. Used dutch process cocoa and they’re pretty rich. Also used chopped pecans instead of walnuts, and my sweetener was powdered Lakanto. I don’t find any aftertaste with it like I do with Swerve. Used the smallest Pampered Chef scoop and I got 82 after doubling the recipe. I’ll have to refigure the carb count but I expect it will be pretty low, something like .5 for each. Thanks for a great recipe Mellissa!

DELICIOUS! I ran out of walnuts but used pecans! They are very rich. I got 46 out of the batch as that is the size scoop I had. I will make them a little smaller next time. I used granular sugar and will try powdered next time and maybe cut the sugar down to my taste. They are in the freezer for portion control! LOL TY for the excellent recipe!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Glad you liked them Peter, thanks for taking the time to let me know!

These are ricidulously easy to throw together in a few minutes and even more AMAZING for how they taste! I had a last minute event to attend and wanted to bring a treat to share. This recipe took less than 1/2 hour to put together and clean up afterwards. Left theto chill in the freezer before heading out. Wow are these full of flavor! So rich and decadent. I used a smaller scoop and got 26 balls out of the recipe which is a nice size so I could have two (or more!) without feeling guilty. If you love chocolate and you’re looking for an easy treat to make, this is it!
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks for the glowing review Joyce – it’s been ages since I’ve made these and your comment reminded me that I need to make them again soon!
