Need to satisfy your sweet tooth? These Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs are a keto dessert packed with rich dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter! Less than one net carb each!
I’ve got a great keto snack for you today! Sometimes your sweet tooth calls and you need something quick and easy to satisfy it. These chocolate peanut butter fat bombs are just the ticket!
What Are Fat Bombs?
Since keto is a low-carb, high-fat diet, you have to make sure you eat enough good fats each day. Fat bombs are high in fat and make it easier to reach your daily fat quota. Even better, they taste amazing!
In this particular recipe, the fat bombs have less than 1 net carb per piece, 0.8 grams of protein, and contain 5.2 grams of fat. Fat bombs always have a fat source — in this case coconut oil. Other types of fat bombs you may see could contain cream cheese or butter as their fat source.
Ingredients for Keto Fat Bombs
This recipe for keto chocolate fat bombs has only four simple ingredients:
- Coconut oil: an alternative would be to use butter
- Keto-friendly confectioners sweetener: I use Swerve but you could also use monkfruit
- Nut Butter: We recommend using creamy peanut butter for this recipe
- Lily’s sugar-free dark chocolate chips
How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
Making keto fat bombs is as simple as melting the ingredients together in a pan! Here’s how this keto peanut butter snack is made:
- For this recipe, I use a small saucepan and melt coconut oil, a keto friendly sweetener, peanut butter and sugar free dark chocolate chips.
- Stir the mixture as it melts until it is completely smooth.
- Once smooth I remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly, 5-10 minutes or so.
- Then, carefully spoon the mixture into a silicone mini muffin tin and freeze.
I like to sprinkle my keto chocolate peanut butter fat bombs with sea salt for that sweet and salty combo. I think it really makes the flavors pop, but it’s entirely up to you.
What Type of Peanut Butter Should I Use?
Look for a low-carb, sugar-free peanut butter. You’ll want to use a creamy peanut butter to make this recipe.
Tips for Making the Best Fat Bombs
- You can use granular sweetener if you prefer, but the confectioners does provide a smoother texture.
- I freeze the fat bombs in a silicone mini muffin pan and once they are frozen I remove from the pan and store in a freezer bag. They’ll last up to three months.
- I like to let them thaw 3-4 minutes before eating them. This way, they melt in your mouth like fudge!

- 1/2 cup peanut butter (watch for added sugars)
- 3/4 cup Lilly’s Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Heat a medium size sauce pan to medium low heat. Add the coconut oil first and wait until it has completely melted.Then add the sugar substitute, peanut butter and chocolate chips. Stir the mixture continuously until it has completely melted.
- Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool 5-10 minutes.

Notes
- You can use granular sweetener if you prefer, but the confectioners does provide a smoother texture. Nutrition values were calculated with a peanut butter that has about 6 net carbs per 2 tablespoons.
