As I have mentioned in other posts, meals often require a straight up shot glass of oil to help make it more palatable while maintaining the proper ratio.

I can't remember where I got the idea, but we have started making Coconut Oil Candy as an alternative to the oil shot.
Pros:
Great way for kids to participate and help make the candy
Super easy use of pantry staples
Mealtime become a little more fun/interesting
AJ actually likes the taste
Healthier alternative to add more fat (instead of more butter or cream)
Cons:
We have been told by our nutritionist that too much coconut oil may be less beneficial, so I try to serve these once a day or every other day, as needed.
Stevia/sweet drops are used in these, which the amounts need to be considered and monitored according to the recommendations of you keto Team/nutritionist.

Ingredients:
Coconut Oil, unrefined
Stevia drops, any flavor
Silicone molds
Directions:
Melt the coconut oil until liquified.
Add the drops and stir well.
Place the silicone molds on a flat hard surface that can easily be moved into the fridge/freezer. I use my baking pans or cutting boards for this.
Using droppers, fill the silicone molds to the brim with the sweetened oil. When all the mold slots are full, I will usually just pour the rest into individual silicone cupcake holders to make little coconut oil discs.
Carefully place all molds into fridge or freezer (freezer is best if you have the room). Once solidified, gently pop the candy out of the molds and store in the fridge in a sealed container.
I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
