Browned Butter Carnivore Candies
Buttery, nutty, melt-in-your-mouth bites with only two or three ingredients — zero carbs, 100% animal-based.
🥩 Ingredients (Makes ~12–16 candies):
-
1 cup unsalted butter (grass-fed if possible)
-
2 tablespoons beef tallow or duck fat (optional, for firmness and added flavor)
-
Pinch of salt (use mineral-rich salt like Redmond’s for best flavor)
-
(Optional) 1 tsp vanilla extract or a few drops of liquid stevia (omit for strict carnivore)
-
(Optional) 1 tbsp powdered egg yolk or collagen powder (adds body)
🔥 Instructions:
-
Brown the butter:
-
Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
-
Let it melt and bubble. Stir frequently and watch closely as the milk solids separate and start to brown (5–8 minutes).
-
It will smell nutty and golden—do not burn.
-
Once golden brown bits appear at the bottom, remove from heat.
-
-
Add fat & extras:
-
Stir in beef tallow or duck fat (if using), and any optional additions like vanilla or powdered yolk.
-
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
-
Stir until fully melted and combined.
-
-
Pour into molds:
-
Carefully pour the hot mixture into silicone molds, an ice cube tray, or a parchment-lined dish.
-
Let cool slightly at room temp.
-
-
Chill:
-
Place in the fridge or freezer for 30–60 minutes, until fully solidified.
-
-
Pop and store:
-
Remove from molds and store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
-
❄️ Storage:
-
Fridge: Keeps for 1–2 weeks.
-
Freezer: Up to 2 months (they melt fast at room temp!).

-
Dash of cinnamon or nutmeg
