Keto Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
Why This Is Strictly Keto
These fat bombs use only natural peanut butter, butter, and cocoa — no added sugar anywhere. Powdered erythritol replaces sugar entirely, and the chocolate coating is made from scratch with unsweetened cocoa powder rather than a processed candy-style product. High-fat, low-carb ingredients make this a classic keto snack for boosting fat intake between meals.
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 cup (250g) natural creamy peanut butter (no added sugar)
- 4 tablespoons (55g) unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup (65g) powdered erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Chocolate Coating
- ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
Instructions
Mix the filling: In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt until completely smooth and well combined.
Shape into balls: Using a small cookie scoop, portion the mixture into 16 balls and roll between your palms. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
Freeze until firm: Freeze the balls for 20 minutes, or until firm enough to dip.
Make the coating: Whisk together the cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, and powdered erythritol in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.
Dip: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the chocolate coating, letting the excess drip off. Return to the parchment-lined tray.
Chill to set: Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until the chocolate coating hardens.
Store: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.

Tips
- Use natural peanut butter with no added sugar or hydrogenated oils — the only ingredients should be peanuts and salt.
- If the filling is too soft to roll, chill it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
- The chocolate coating hardens quickly in the fridge thanks to the coconut oil — no tempering required.
