How to Make Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Fat Bombs

Ingredients

Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no added oils)
Coconut oil (refined for neutral flavor or unrefined for coconut flavor)
Unsalted butter or ghee (optional for richness)
Unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
Powdered keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or a blend; powdered dissolves best)
Vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional add-ins: sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, unsweetened coconut flakes
Optional coating: flaky sea salt or a dusting of cocoa powder

Directions

Set up your molds. Use a silicone mini-muffin tray or silicone candy molds. If you don’t have molds, line a small loaf pan with parchment paper for slicing later.
Warm the base. In a small saucepan over low heat, add 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter (if you want extra creaminess). Heat gently, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
Flavor it up. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 2–4 tablespoons of powdered keto sweetener (to taste), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until the mixture is glossy and lump-free.
Taste and adjust. Dip a spoon into the mixture to taste. If you want it sweeter, add a bit more powdered sweetener. If it’s too thick, stir in 1–2 teaspoons of coconut oil.
Add extras (optional). Fold in 2 tablespoons of sugar-free chocolate chips or 1 tablespoon of chopped peanuts for some texture. Stir evenly.
Fill the molds. Pour the mixture into the silicone molds, leaving a small gap at the top. If using a loaf pan, pour in and smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill to set. Refrigerate for 45–60 minutes or freeze for 20–30 minutes until they are firm enough to pop out of the molds. They should be solid but soft to the bite.
Finish and store. Pop them out of the molds and sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt if desired. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or the freezer for up to 2 months.

How to Store Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Fat Bombs

Keep your fat bombs in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months. If freezing, separate layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
