Why This Recipe Slaps
These fat bombs aren’t just tasty—they’re a nutritional powerhouse.
They’re loaded with healthy fats to keep you full, stabilize blood sugar, and fuel your brain. Plus, they take under 10 minutes to make. No baking, no fancy equipment—just mix, shape, and devour.
And let’s be real: peanut butter and chocolate is a combo that never fails. Even non-keto folks will sneak these from your fridge.
Gather Your Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need (spoiler: it’s all simple stuff):
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (sugar-free, obviously)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (because balance matters)
How to Make Them (So Easy It’s Almost Embarrassing)
- Mix it up: In a bowl, combine peanut butter, melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Stir until smooth.If it looks like liquid gold, you’re on the right track.
- Pour and chill: Pour the mixture into silicone molds or an ice cube tray. No molds? A shallow dish works—just cut into squares later.
- Freeze: Pop them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.Patience is a virtue, but we won’t judge if you sneak one early.
- Devour: Once firm, pop them out and store (or eat them all immediately—we’re not here to police your life).
Storage: Keep Them Cool, Keep Them Fresh
These fat bombs are heat-sensitive, so store them in the fridge or freezer. In the fridge, they’ll last 2 weeks; in the freezer, 3 months (if they survive that long). Pro tip: Layer them between parchment paper to prevent sticking.
FYI, they might soften at room temp, so don’t leave them out like a sad, melty mess. Looking for a savory bite before dessert? These Keto Pizza Muffins are loaded with protein and flavor.

- Customizable: Swap ingredients to fit your mood (more on that below).
Common Mistakes (Don’t Be That Person)
Even easy recipes can go sideways.
Avoid these pitfalls:
- Using sugary peanut butter: Check labels—many brands sneak in sugar. IMO, this is keto sacrilege.

- Not freezing long enough: If they’re still soft, give them time. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

FAQs About Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Fat Bombs
Can I use natural peanut butter?
Yes, but stir it well first. Natural peanut butter separates, and you don’t want oily bombs. Unless you’re into that.
What if I don’t have silicone molds?
No worries.
Use an ice cube tray or a small dish. Just cut the mixture into squares once it’s firm.
Are these kid-friendly?
Absolutely. Kids love them, and they’re a healthier alternative to candy.

Go for it. These disappear fast, so doubling up is a smart move. Future you will high-five present you.
