After 3 years, is Fallout 3 still one of the best?
It's been 3 years since Bethesda released Fallout 3, the game that decimated many peoples social lives, won over critics hearts and conquered the 2008 game awards. Even with other hard hitting games such as GTA IV and Metal Gear Solid 4, which I remind you are some of the best rated games of all time, Fallout 3 practically beat all of them. Now 3 years later, multitude of games such as countless COD games, red dead redemption, Mass Effect 2, and Uncharted 2, have all tried to get where Fallout 3 was 3 years ago.
I believe Fallout 3 is the best 7th generation console or PC games to date and will be for a long time. However what do others think, was Fallout 3 just a fad, or was it a good game but since then has lost much of it's lister since more recent critically acclaimed games have been released, or are you one of those people who has played it 4 times through even though you got all the achievements first time through, and you still find enjoyment in the game?
Well I bought the GOTY edition in 2009 i think and played it for a few months. But I bever could "get into" this game. I was to big, I got lost in the wastelands. Then I gave it a try halfway 2010 and again... i couldn't find my way.
A few weeks I wanted to sell my copy, but wanted to give it a 3rd try. I decided to do Anchorage. Because that was a "small" story and after that DLC I nevers stopped playing. :)
I'm hooked to this game and i'd say it's one of the best games I've ever played.
For instance when I started Red Dead Redemption i was hooked from the beginning'till the end.
I voted ffor best game, beacuse there was no other optopn. I hated GTA (played the last one on the x360), I only liked Vice and I played that on the PC and I never played Metal Gear Solid. So option 2 is a no go for me. As for 3 and 4.
Fallout 3 is not THE best game I've ever played on the console, but it's mucht better then GTA. It's one of my favorites together with Bad Company 2 and I know that Battlefield 3 wil be the best game of 2011, 2012 and 2013 LOL
One of the best games I have ever played. Enjoyed it a lot. I'm not saying it's the best of it's generation because the competition is very good. But I'd easily spot it in my top 10 ever. maybe even top 5.
I bought the GOTY version back in 2009 as well only to play it up to leaving the vault and putting the game back on my shelf in it's shrink wrap xD picked it up a few days ago and I'm really getting into it now and feel like a right donut for leaving it for so long before giving it a 2nd chance :p
i think there are a lot of reasons why Fallout 3 is such a great game such as:
1) Meaningful exploration: Fallout 3 was a large place (which should be a given) and like in many rockstar games, the location is often can be a character itself. Also in Fallout 3, the exploration was worth the travel because there was a 90% chance that a unmarked sidequest (that you actually wanted to do, unlike in its successor) would happen and you would enjoy it, or it would have something meaningful for your travel.
2) Fallout 3 plot never got too big or complicated for its own good: The plot was pretty simple compared to other games where developers would take a big leap in storytelling or complex plot that more often than not, it crashes and burns,leaves the player confused, or maybe the player just wont care anymore. Bethesda played it safe by having a small story that people could more than likely relate to in some way and care about the outcome of the game. many people including myself all remember taking a vow to absolutely destroy the enclave after they killed your father james in project purity. There are very few games such as the Mass Effect series where you can spend ages deciding on a simple decision because how it they know that decision will impact the world they inhabit forever. Fallout 3 is one of those games that gets you emotionally invested and care about your decisions.
3) Karma is a female Dog: Like i said previously Fallout 3 is one of a few games still today that made you pause and think of the outcome. I remember the first time i played fallout 3, i hesitantely nuked megaton for the need of cash and a place to crash. After i nuked it, i went to ground zero eventually to see my glory. What i saw made me regret the decision to nuke them, because i felt that the world had suddenly become a lot more emptier than it was before, and immediately went back and decided to save the town in previous save file. One of the many reasons why i found it hard to commit crimes agianst people was that i realised the value of humans (the ones who wouldnt start shooting me on site) because i knew they were essentail to my survival.
4) Memorable DLC: Even though Point Lookout and Broken Steel are pretty much the better DLC of the five, the rest was still worth all the money i paid with it. Though they other 3 were lacking in many of the freedoms in the superior 2, they still did a good job of feeding that addiction to play fallout 3, because they were different from main story, had cool stuff to collect, DLC was filled to the brim with cool things, and after you completed it, you could hardly wait till the next piece of DLC arrived, I'm still waiting for the next 6th piece of DLC to come out for Fallout 3.
These are many of the reasons even after playing games like Metal Gear Solid 4, GTA IV, Uncahrted 2, Red Dead Redemption, and Mass Effect 2, i can still come back to the game and play it like it was my very first time.
I'll have to say to this day I still haven't had the time to get around to it. I actually have two copies of the GOTY Edition with all the DLC. I seriously need to start playing this.
I love this game, poll answers were too specific though, leaving out the inbetweens. I would say this is *one of the best games on todays consoles.
Fallout 3 is seriously one of the games EVER made, not just this gen i mean in the history of video games
My favorite game of all time it is so EPIC!
Fallout 3 is one of my to 5, but GTA IV was garbage and I've never touched MGS.
I do still love FO3 though, and I still pop it in there once a month or so and run through it for a few hours.
GTA IV and MGS??
Fallout is one of the best, but I can´t vote since you made that compare. Reaaally different games.
To me GTA IV wasnt that good as the critics say, but fallout 3 is definitely up there in the list of my favorite games along with mass effect 2 and oblivion.
Replace GTA IV with Oblivion (you know, the game with the same engine Bethesda used for Fallout 3 two years later) and MSG 4 with Mass Effect and then you might have a legitimate option I can choose from. Otherwise I can't vote as none of the current options apply to me.
Fallout 3 is my all time favorite game because the possibilities of what you can do in it are endless and it just never gets old.
I've never played it. I love RPG's... Should I give it a go? Is there a GOTY Edition still available? If so, how much is it going for these days?
Well when I say one of the best games along with GTA IV and MGS series, I don't restrict it to just them. Those were just some of the games that could be seen as one of the best games ever along with half-life series, mass effect series, uncharted 2, legend of zelda. May have been my fault but I thought people would see that I was just using GTA IV and MGS as some examples of exemplary games I have ever played, and to others maybe Fallout 3 is up there as your favourites along with N.U.D.E. or call of duty 3. It doesn't have to be just MGS or GTA IV.
The point isn't that GTA IV was good or not (which it wasn't even as good as the last 3, by the way), it's that your option in the poll was dumb. You left no option for people that loved the game, but like another one better. You went from "Best ever" to "It was okay". If you loved GTA IV, good for you. I'm glad you didn't feel like you wasted 65 bucks like I did, but that doesn't mean that anyone else likes it, and the simple fact that you try to even put it in the same class as a game like FO3 is absurd.
Also I know that I kind of botched the poll alittle but I thought people would be smart enough to figure out that MGS & GTA IV were just some examples.
yeah GOTY editions are still available i'm not sure how much, but i'm sure you wiil get a GOTY edition
I believe it's still one of the best yeah
Haven't read any posts but the OP, but I have to say that it was one of the most enjoyable games that I've played in years.
Fallout 3 is hand's down with Dlc and all just one of the best game's to be released on the X360 console and it was just down right fun while amazing.
I originally picked up the game over 2 years ago, one of the few games I ever paid full price new for. Popped it in just to test out the disc and to just "try it out", next thing I know it's 6am and I'm supposed to be getting up for work.
I had to put it away, or else I never would have slept again. I just got completely enthralled and just kept going.
Actually perma-loaned that copy to a buddy, which is probably now wandering the world with his army unit.
Anyhow, borrowed my brothers regular edition copy recently, dipped back in and have already put about 20 hours back into it. And I've barely left the Megaton area. I'm definitely going to get the GOTY edition at some point, which is cheaper than buying all the DLC through the marketplace.
That even just wandering around a desolated wasteland is so intriguing, picking up and throwing tin cans, just poking my nose into derelict buildings hoping to not get blown up by traps, I've barely even touched the quests and am truly enjoying it.
One thing that struck me just last night, how vivid the sunrise and sunset transitions are. It's quite spectacular and outside the Red Dead Redemption day/night cycling haven't seen anything that can quite match it. I stood there for a few minutes and just watched the sun come up.
I think this game is pretty special.
I don't know if it's the best game ever. It's hard to compare Fallout 3 to some very good first person shooters, action or other RPGs like Mass Effect. But it's definitely on my top ten.
Theres a reason I completed the whole game + DLC's on Xbox and Ps3 :')
One of my Favourite games along with New Vegas...
Played probably over a 1000 hours between both of them.
I absolutely love Fallout 3. NV is fun, but pales in comparison IMO. Still, I hope they continue making games for this epic series.
Just about pick the goty edition up from Zavvi for £12.99. Bargain

I was Luckier..
I was Luckier
4th November 2006, was a foggy winter morning. This day was when one of our closest Uncle had turned 100! The local newspapers covered him on the front page. It was such a delight to see him play the violin in the pictures.
Age or time had not stopped him from cherishing his interests and likings. Be it the violin or the sitar , he was the Jack of all trades. Undoubtedly it was a great idea to visit him today. Things like a grand party , mementoes and music came to my mind. I kept wondering how his children would specially have made it to India from the United States to celebrate this day. What more could an elderly man expect , a family with great grand-sons and great grand-daughters, all around him on this day. I think it wasn't too much to expect. He didn't want those expensive gifts, I was sure of that.
As the day proceeded it became warm , and the evening was gently sun-kissed. It seemed the right time to visit him. On reaching his place, I could see a huge bungalow with one window throwing light out on the road. I went like…huh?!.. No party and no music ?!..
Well, fine. He could be wanting a small peaceful family affair. Without saying a word, I entered with my family. We had a bouquet of flowers, the least we could do.
No one answered the bell to a door which was half open. We chose to walk in and check it out. A gallery with no light welcomed us. I wanted to go out and check if we were at the right place?! We called out for Uncle. He calmly responded from the door to our right. Ah! there he was.. a man , a ton old.
We wished him , hugged him and each one found a place to adjust in a room which
was in a serious mess. The house seemed to me quite.. uh.. dilapidated. No lights and no fresh air. What could be more depressing on a birthday?! Some relief came my way when the conversations started.
We asked him how his day was ? He replied , " It was good", smiling his way to the flowers. They were red roses. I hoped he liked them because the bouquet was my job. But I was still wondering except the house keeper who served us water, there wasn't anyone home? Were they all out..? Somebody ask ?
"Nobody else is home..Uncle?", my mum asked. After pausing she added, " Your children..?" Ah! now that's called telepathy. Thanks Ma.. I thought to myself , we all were thinking the same.
He looked up and replied ,"No.. they are not here. All are back there in the US. No one could make it ."
I was like.. 'Are you Kidding' They didn't come for their Dad's 100th birthday? Have they all lost it ? They couldn't make it to India or they didn't want to ? They were those kinds, who didn't mind leaving Uncle in an Old Age Home ? I just read about such people, it was harsh to know someone like that. And I was wondering of those grand parties? I felt so outrageous and astonished. It actually bruised my thought process. It was difficult to swallow that one sip of water. I don't even genuinely dare to dream about my parents like that. It was certainly a sad affair.
With no delay my Mum added with a false laughter , "That's true. Everybody is busy these days. But am sure they wanted to come. It must have been the flight trouble like last time. So when did they call, Uncle ?"
Oh! So they had a flight trouble last time. Strange. With almost a flight from New York every fourth hour, they had a trouble finding a place. Or suddenly there were so many people who wanted to see the Taj Mahal, that tourist visas were a preference than those proud , arrogant "Green Card " holders. I grinned and felt like shouting , "Liar , liar .. pants on fire."
He replied,"I don't remember exactly who all called." His face drooped. Probably it was the age to be blamed. Not his fault if he can't recall. The atmosphere suddenly became tensed and uneasy. I thought to myself, " Can't we take him with us for a dinner..Please."
" Uncle, forget all that. Please come with us to our place. We will celebrate things there. Please don't say No.", my Dad said. Ah! now that's telepathy again.. Thanks Dad.
Uncle smiled. His teary eyes revealed it all. So what if he was 100 today, everybody wants their birthday to be like a special day. I still like surprise gifts. He said , " Fine."
I was excited. A nice homely dinner was ready. He didn't want to go out for dinner. We bought a lovely pineapple cake, which had "May You Live Forever" written on it.
As he cut the cake, I almost cried. It was a turmoil of emotions that anchored me. My grandparents came to my mind quite instantly. They all seem the same. Few things that always remain with you , if not people. Memories.
We got loads of pictures clicked. It was somewhat historic. Think for yourself a person who had seen the world in 1926. He shared his experiences of the independence fury in 1947. Wow! It felt as if he was a living history book. He also remembered seeing the Halley's Comet in 1972. It was really unique.
All the history-talkies, were followed by dinner. I thought he would avoid things that were difficult to chew. That's what my Grandpa did. But he suffered from no such hassles. No joint pains , no dentures , no blood pressure and no medicines. He said he walked almost each day. No wonder he's hundred today, I thought to myself. It was one of the most enchanting dinners I've had.
Every now and then, he quietly wiped tears from his eyes while talking. No one asked why. Obviously it was his family, both in the good way and the bad one.
He even asked us to sing and he himself played the beats on the table. Wow! I felt like asking, "Are you sure you are hundred?" It seemed to me he was having a good time. By the end of it, there were less teary eyes and more graceful smiles.
It was time to leave him back at his place. No one wanted him to leave. But we all hugged him, and wished him once again. And he left with my parents.
Before sleeping I thought to myself, 'Wow! Hundred..?!'
Time passed by, the winter mornings turned into hot summer ones. It was a summer evening. My parents felt like visiting Uncle that day and so they did it. The same old bungalow on a long summer evening. The door was closed this time and they rung the bell. The same house keeper, came out to ask who it was. My parents asked for Uncle. And what came back was, " Uncle..? He is no more. He passed away a month back."
My parents were shattered. They kept staring at the house keeper with no more questions. He added," No one lives here anymore ."
He said it with such ease as if it made no difference to anyone. His children did not inform anyone known to them. Not even an Obituary in the paper. Nobody knew if they even came. It had all ended in one single sentence.
A hundred year old life, ended this way ? It could have been more glorious , I thought silently. Why did that last birthday had to be with us ? Was it all pre-planned by nature ? What kind of children are they ? Did they still have flight problems ?
If this what blood relations were, why did God make them. They are no less than a torture. This time I had a bruised heart than a mere thought process. A father who must have tired his throat blessing his children each time with a long life; no one had the time to cherish his long life. Its true , I thought affirming myself, that history will repeat itself.
After crying it out, I had no grudges for anyone. Just that I was luckier. I had those most priced possessions that his children didn't . Pictures of Uncle's last birthday, his 100th birthday. Somebody ask them if they could get them complimentary with their "Green Cards". Well it's a waste talking to or about them. They are unlucky to miss out on such a father.
Few things that always remain with you , if not people. Memories.

Potters reject Blades bid
By Chris Stanton
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Sheffield United tried to sign Stoke captain Michael Duberry, The Potters revealed.
Sheffield United tried to sign Stoke captain Michael Duberry, The Potters revealed on Friday.
Neil Warnock's promotion chasers ended their search for a new defender when they signed Chris Lucketti from Preston earlier this week.
But Potters director of football John Rudge claims United had put Duberry at the top of their wanted list only for the Midlands outfit to flatly reject The Blades' proposal.
Rudge also confirmed that manager Johan Boskamp views Duberry as an indispensable member of his first team.
"Neil Warnock was looking for a centre half and Michael fitted the bill," said Rudge.
"We received the enquiry a couple of weeks ago, and it received the response it deserved.
"Michael is an important part of the team, and we are not looking to sell him."
Meanwhile, Stoke have also rejected several loan offers for promising defender Andy Wilkinson.
The 21-year-old's progress has been hit by a knee injury this season but Wilkinson revealed Boskamp is eager to hand him a first team opportunity.
"I've had a few clubs come in for me on loan but the manager won't let me go," said Wilkinson.
"He wants me to stay and push for a first team place and that's what'll happen."

City U18s 0-1 Ipswich Town U18s
City were undone by a single goal as they exited the FA Youth Cup at the expense of Ipswich Town at Ashton Gate.
Thomas Winter's strike on the half hour mark was enough to ensure the Tractor Boys progressed into round four.
New recruit Rhys Jordan had City's first chance of the evening, dragging his shot just wide of the far post from eight yards out.
City played well in the opening exchanges, playing some neat football without really testing Michael Crowe in the Ipswich goal.
Winter, out of nothing, put the visitors in front just before the half hour. The midfielder received the ball with his back to goal and from 25 yards, turned before looping his effort over Dylan Castenheira in the City goal.
Wes Burns looked lively throughout the first half, getting to byeline before cutting the back into Conor Lemonheigh-Evans' path, but he sliced his effort high and wide.
City piled on the pressure after the interval with two chances in quick succession. Burns was once again involved when his cross was met by Pierce Mitchell but the City skipper's header was kept out by the back-peddling Crowe.
It was then Jamal Simms who was left wondering how he didn't bring his team back on level terms. City's corner was only half cleared by the Ipswich rearguard and Hall knocked the ball back in, finding Simms, but his hooked shot dropped wide.
Substitute Tyson Pollard and Burns linked well at the death but just as the latter was poised to fire goalwards, Omar Sowumni timed his tackle perfectly to secure the visitors' safe progress.
City: Castenheira; Simms, Batten, Mitchell (capt), John; Jordan, Morrell (Pollard 70), Hall (Paice 90), Cline; Lemonheigh-Evans (Bishop 76), Burns.

The turning point is upon us.
Great Trilithon's smooth flat face looks
towards the winter sun
which becomes stronger
as the days become longer
and we celebrate rebirth.
The sun stands still, its shadow
barely changes.
Sun dials seem static
as the solstice draws near.
Low, low orb in the darkening skies.
The darkest time.
Eat, drink, make love, carouse,
slaughter cattle, feast,
quaff the new-fermented wine.
Light the candles for
the sun's winter sleep.
Cleanse the house of evil spirits,
look out for Loki's mistletoe.
An arrow in the heart and
tears become berries,
symbol of love as life returns.
Every ending
leads us to begin again.
New beginning.
New beginning.

A superb defensive display gave Nottingham Forest a valuable point away to League leaders QPR.An entertaining first half saw QPR take the lead and Forest go down to ten men when Raddy Majewski was sent off. But Forest fought back well, getting a quick equalizer and taking control of the game until towards the end of the half.It was a tense second half and Forest defended superbly to prevent QPR from taking advantage of the extra man and Luke Chambers thoroughly deserved to be named man of the match.
But Smith did put Rangers in front just a minute later when he made a good run down the right and weaved his way past Paul Konchesky to the edge of the penalty area before bending the ball past a diving Camp and into the far corner.Forest were down to ten men, 23 minutes into the half, when Raddy Majewski picked up a red card for a two-footed dive which upended Adel Taarabt.But Forest were back on level terms three minutes later with a fortuitous goal from a free kick by Lewis McGugan, taken from 35 yards out to the right. The ball flew low into the 6-yard box where it flew off the leg of David McGoldrick and into the corner of the net, past a diving Paddy Kenny.Forest came close from their fifth corner of the game when McGugan's ball in found Wes Morgan whose well-aimed header was superbly blocked on the line by Kenny.Rangers threatened towards the end of the half and two great blocks by Luke Chambers cleared the danger, first from Taarabt and then Wayne Routledge, while in between these Camp had to come out of his area to ensure the ball was cleared.Joel Lynch replaced Tudgay for the start of the second half, with Konchesky moving into midfield and McGoldrick playing on his own up front.And the Forest substitute was quickly influential at the back, blocking Ranger's substitute Ishmael Miller as he looked dangerous on the edge of the penalty area.Rangers came close when a rocket of a shot from Alejandro Faurlin flashed across the face of goal and just wide of the post.But it was a much more tentative display from Forest compared to the first half, but theydefended solidly as much of the play took place in their own half.Paul Anderson became the second substitute for Forest, replacing McGugan in the 68th minute.With Forest still defending solidly, Chambers was again influential in keeping them on level terms.To give Forest more speed up front Nathan Tyson came on for McGoldrick with 16 minutes remaining.More great defensive work by Forest stopped QPR from going ahead from the corner when Bradley Orr's header was cleared off the line by Chris Gunter.Two minutes from time, a rare break by Tyson down the left saw him beat two men but, with nobody to cross to, his only option was to shoot from a tight angle and the ball went into the side netting.But QPR were soon back on the attack and Forest did well to hold on through three minutes stoppage time to take a share of the points.Nottingham Forest: Camp, Gunter, Morgan, Chambers, Konchesky, Cohen, Majewski, McKenna(C), McGugan(Anderson 68min) , McGoldrick(Tyson 74min), Tudgay(Lynch 45min HT)Subs not used:Smith, Moloney, Adebola, EarnshawBookings: Majewski RED CARD 23min, Tyson 88minScorer: McGoldrick 26minQPR: Kenny, Orr, Hill, Derry, Taarabt, Faurlin(Vaagan Moen 79min), Gorkss(Chimbonda 74min), Routledge, Connolly, Hulse, Smith(Miller 45min HT)Subs not used:Cerny, Hall, Helguson, ShittuBookings: Taarabt 48min, Gorkss 56min Derry 61minScorer: Smith 16minReferee: M ClattenburgAttendance: 17,227

text: GettyIconic Red CarpetClassic Carolina Herrera on the Red CarpetAs the legendary fashion designer turns 75, a look back at some of her most iconic red carpet designs.The Fashion Beast Team01.08.14 5:45 AM ETGetty For over three decades, Carolina Herrera has been delivering femininity and glamour to the runways as one of the most recognized names in fashion. Born in 1939, Herrera grew up among high-fashion thanks to her socialite grandmother, and she attended her first Balenciaga show in 1952. "I do remember that show very well because it was so quiet," Herrera told Washington Life in an interview. "There was total silence. It was an impressive way to show clothes, very different from today. And the clothes were very beautiful." Only a few years later, Herrera was being dressed in the likes of Lanvin and Dior. Although seemingly stylish since the beginning, Hererra didn't become recognized for her elegant fashion choices until her second marriage to Reinaldo Herrera Guevara, the 5th Marqués of Torre Casa. In the seventies, she made her first appearance on the International Best Dressed List, partied with stars like Mick and Bianca Jagger and Andy Warhol at Studio 54, and became friends with fashion editor Diana Vreeland, who assisted Herrera in creating her own line. In 1981, Herrera presented her first collection to rave reviews. Soon after, Herrera was in high demand by everyone from Jacqueline Kennedy to Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush to Renée Zellweger. "They are very feminine, not too avant-garde," Herrera said of her clothes. "It has to be sophisticated, it has to be easy to wear, not so trendy. When you have too many trends, fashion is destroyed. It has to have a certain individuality to look well on you." As the legendary fashion designer turns 75, we look back at some of her most iconic red carpet looks.

pair a sight
let's all get up and dance to a song that was a hit before your mother was born (it's like a story where no one truly exists anymore) ((arguably not much of a story at all))
Parasite, you are.
The way she twirls around the room is a mystery to you. You can't comprehend her rapid movements, the way she occasionally brings herself close and draws herself away. She can't bring herself to say what she's doing; she merely expects you to understand. That's always the way it's been with you two, you think. She would love you to know her every thought and whim and yet she refuses to speak a word. You haven't heard her voice proper for three months now.
There is nothing in the background, no song indicative of a beat. It's all in her head, you realize, as it's always been. Sometimes you are not entirely convinced you aren't a figment of her imagination either. Then again, that's just plain nonsense; imagination itself is not sentient.
Before you're aware she's got you pinned against a wall, her hands against your shoulders. As if you could run away from her, even if you desired. Her hands move slowly downward, brushing against your barely-bound breasts as she looks you in the eye. You are just painfully aware of the near-blindness in one of her eyes, looking almost dreamy the way it's all clouded. You can barely conceal the giggle on your lips at the thought of what's lying under her skin.
She raises an eyebrow but says nothing; you never make sense in context. You're sure she can hear your racing thoughts, the way she assumes you can read hers. Darling, darling, darling.
She presses her lips ever so gently against yours and it's so cold. Her entire body feels cold to you. Sometimes you believe she's hardly alive. (Nonsense, of course, but you can never be sure with her. This girl is more a mystery than anything you've ever witnessed.)
It is like the two of you are melting together and you are one, you and this mystery girl are one. One being moving alone in time and you are no longer you. She is you and you are merely a part of her that has no control. She doesn't understand what it's like to be a creature like you.
Parasite, you are.
She sings ever so softly in your ear, beautiful nothings of blackbirds and the sweet taste of your fake cigarettes. She's a poet of sorts, though you've never heard her words before now. You almost feel like this is really her, the girl's true self. What you need to do is pull off her mask and see who she is.
For now though you will merely content yourself with the fact that she loves you. The parasite that you are.

Are you looking for an easy way to add more coconut oil to your diet? Give these chocolate coconut fat bombs a try. They taste like chocolate candies, but they're actually good for you!
You know I'm all about the simple recipes, and this one is no exception. Just combine five ingredients in your food processor, freeze, and enjoy!
What type of coconut oil should you use?
I use refined coconut oil in this recipe. Although you may assume that refined oils are automatically bad for you, this is not the case when it comes to coconut oil. The benefits of coconut oil are mostly about the fat, and refined coconut oil has the same fatty acid composition as virgin coconut oil. While I do use virgin coconut oil in some of my recipes, I like using refined coconut here because refined coconut oil does not taste like coconut, and I worried that coconut flavor would overwhelm the chocolate flavor.
So, although these are chocolate coconut fat bombs, they do not taste like coconut. (So feel free to serve them to your coconut-hating friends and relatives! :)) If you do want your fat bombs to taste coconutty, however, feel free to use virgin coconut oil instead of refined.
One more note about coconut oil: not all refined coconut oils are the same. Make sure you buy a high-quality coconut oil that doesn't use chemicals during the extraction process. I personally purchase this brand through my food co-op.
I list cocoa powder in the ingredeints below, but I actually use raw cacao powder myself. Either can be used in this recipe.
Honey is my natural sweetener of choice, so I always use it in my fat bomb recipes. If you don't want to use honey, you can substitute your favorite sweetener (including sugar-free sweeteners such as stevia) to taste.
Read this if you're new to coconut oil!
If you're new to coconut oil, you should also know that eating too much coconut oil at one sitting can cause intestinal upset. How much is too much seems to vary from person to person, so I recommend eating no more than one or two of these at a time at first. If you want, you can then experiment to determine your own tolerance level.
Recommended Equipment
Food processor: I prefer to use my food processor when making fat bombs. I like that it can effectively mix all the ingredients even if you put in coconut oil that's on the harder, more solid side. I use this food processor. You could probably make this in a blender, too, but I haven't tried it so can't be sure.
Silicone chocolate molds: I like using silicone molds for coconut oil recipes like this one. I mostly used this set of molds. I have a small collection of silicone molds, but that set is my current favorite to recommend because they're an awesome price on Amazon and have worked really well for me. If you're interested in getting into making your own coconut oil treats and/or homemade chocolates, I highly recommend investing in a few silicone molds.
Candy Molds & Ice Cube Trays – Hearts, Stars & Shells – Silicone Chocolate
If you don't have any molds, you can also just drop spoonfuls of the coconut oil mixture onto a flat surface (such as a cutting board) lined with parchment paper. If you pick this route, I recommend keeping your mixture on the more solid side. If necessary, you can chill it in the fridge for a bit to harden it up.
- 2 cups refined coconut oil (see note above)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 6 tablespoons raw honey
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- A couple dashes of salt, or more to taste
- Assess the hardness of your coconut oil. If it's very cold in your home, you may need to partially melt your coconut oil before proceeding. I've been able to just directly add it to my food processor, but I've been making this recipe when my coconut oil has been soft but still completely solid. If your coconut oil is completely melted, I recommend chilling it in your fridge for a bit to let it harden a little. Ideally you want to be adding coconut oil that is easily scoopable but still completely solid.
- Add coconut oil, cocoa powder, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to your food processor. Process until all ingredients are evenly mixed, stopping the food processor once or twice to scrape down the sides.
- Taste the mixture to be sure that the flavor is to your liking. If desired, you can add more honey or salt as necessary.
- If you are using silicone molds, you want your coconut oil mixture to be easily pourable. If it's too thick/solid, it's harder to evenly fill the molds. If necessary, you can process for a little longer to make the mixture a little thinner.
- If you are not using molds, pick a flat surface, such as a cutting board, that will fit in your freezer and line it with parchment paper. You want your mixture to be thicker and more solid, so it can be dropped onto your surface in individual dollops and won't just run everywhere. If necessary, you can put your food processor in the fridge for a few minutes to harden up your mixture.
- If using silicone molds, lay out your molds on a cutting board, then use a ladle to fill all the molds with the coconut oil mixture.
- If using a surface lined with parchment paper, use a spoon to drop dollops of the mixture onto your surface.
- Carefully transfer molds or surface to your freezer and freeze until fat bombs are solid, then pop out and store in a lidded container in your freezer. Repeat process until all fat bombs have been frozen.
- These will keep in your freezer indefinitely. You can also store them in the fridge, if you prefer. Do not try to leave these at room temperature for more than a few minutes--coconut oil melts at 76 degrees, so they will get quite soft at room temperature!
