They take almost no time to make and can be stored easily for those emergency snack needs. Plus, they're customizable with your favorite sweetener and can be made creamier or chunkier depending on your peanut butter preference. Let’s get to making some keto magic!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (chunky or smooth, up to you)
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 5-8 packets of stevia sweetener (adjust based on your preference)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Get all your ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl that’s safe for the microwave. You’re going to give these ingredients a quick zap, so cover the bowl with a paper towel to avoid any splattering.
- Pop the bowl in the microwave for about 45 seconds. After that, take it out (careful, it might be hot!), give everything a good stir, and put it back in for another 30 seconds or until all the ingredients have melted enough to mix easily.
- Once everything’s nicely melted, grab a whisk or a fork and blend everything together until you’ve got a smooth mixture.
- Next, take a spoon or a spatula and divide the mixture into an ice cube tray, silicone molds, or muffin liners—whatever you have handy. These molds will shape your fat bombs, so pick something that makes you happy!
- Cover your molds and stick them in the freezer. Let them sit there for at least 2 hours until they're solid.
- After they’ve frozen, pop the fat bombs out of their molds and transfer them to a plastic freezer bag or container for easy storage. They should slip out pretty easily because of all the fats!
Tips:
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste by starting with less stevia and adding more if needed. It’s best to do a taste test of the mixture before you freeze it, to make sure it’s just right.
- When measuring, remember that 4 tablespoons equals 1/4 cup. I’ve used tablespoons here to make it simple to cut the recipe in half if you don't want to make too many.
- Feel free to experiment with the size of your fat bombs. Use different molds to make mini bites or larger bombs, depending on your preference.
There you have it! Delicious, keto-friendly chocolate peanut butter fat bombs that you can enjoy guilt-free anytime your sweet tooth demands attention. Happy snacking!
