Keto Peanut Butter Cup Fat Bombs: 5-Ingredient Low Carb Snacks

  • Author: Lisa
  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

These no-bake Keto Peanut Butter Cup Fat Bombs are a delicious, low-carb snack made with just five ingredients. They feature a creamy peanut butter and cream cheese center coated in a snappy dark chocolate shell, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings while staying in ketosis.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz (113g) full-fat block cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (128g) natural crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) salted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (170g) sugar-free dark chocolate chips (e.g., Lily’s)
  • 1 tablespoon refined coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Place a silicone mini muffin pan in the freezer to chill for at least 5 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, melted butter, peanut butter, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and uniform.
  3. Remove the chilled pan from the freezer. Using a small spoon, drop a mound of the peanut butter mixture into each silicone cup, filling them about halfway to two-thirds full.
  4. Return the pan to the freezer and freeze the centers for 15-20 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
  5. While the centers freeze, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave in additional 15-20 second bursts until smooth and glossy. Do not overheat.
  6. Remove the pan from the freezer. Pour or spoon the melted chocolate over each peanut butter mound, ensuring they are completely covered.
  7. Return the pan to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely hard.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the freezer until ready to eat.

Notes

Use block cream cheese, not tub spreadable, to avoid excess water content. Ensure the chocolate shell includes coconut oil for a proper ‘snap’ texture. Keep molds in the freezer between steps to prevent melting. These can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
