Ingredients: What You’ll Need

For about 16 Fat Bombs (depends on mold size)

• ½ cup (120 g) natural peanut butter
  • Unsweetened, no added sugar; creamy or crunchy
• ⅓ cup (75 g) unsalted butter
  • Or ⅓ cup (75 g) of coconut oil for dairy-free
• 3 Tbsp (15 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼–⅓ cup (40–55 g) powdered keto sweetener, to taste
  • Allulose, erythritol/monk fruit, etc.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of fine sea salt

Optional Add-Ins

• 2–3 Tbsp chopped peanuts (for crunch)
• 2–3 Tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips

Equipment

• Silicone candy molds, a mini muffin tin with liners, or a small baking dish lined with parchment

Instructions: Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Melt the Peanut Butter & Butter
   • In a small saucepan over low heat, combine:
     • Peanut butter
     • Butter (or coconut oil)
   • Stir until melted and smooth.
   • Alternatively, microwave in a heat-safe bowl in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
2. Add Cocoa & Sweetener
   • Remove from heat.
   • Whisk in cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth and glossy.
   • Taste (carefully, it may be warm) and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
3. Fold In Extras (Optional)
   • If using chopped peanuts or sugar-free chocolate chips, let the mixture cool for a minute so the chips don’t fully melt.
   • Stir in your add-ins.
4. Fill Molds or Pan
   • Pour or spoon the mixture into silicone molds or mini muffin liners, filling each about ¾ full.
   • If using a lined baking dish, pour in and spread into an even layer (you’ll cut into squares later).
5. Chill Until Firm
   • Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes, or freeze for about 20 minutes, until set and solid.
6. Unmold & Serve
   • Pop fat bombs out of molds or cut into small squares if using a pan.
   • Store chilled and enjoy as needed.

How to Store It

• Refrigerator:
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 1–2 weeks.
• Freezer:
  • Freeze up to 2 months in a sealed container or bag.
  • Let sit a few minutes at room temp before eating if frozen—they’ll be quite firm.

Smart Ingredient Swaps

• Nut-Free:
  • Use sunflower seed butter or almond butter instead of peanut butter (watch labels for added sugar).
• Dairy-Free:
  • Use coconut oil instead of butter.
  • Check that your chocolate chips (if using) are dairy-free and sugar-free.
• Sweeter / Less Sweet:
  • Adjust the sweetener up or down; start with less and add to taste.
• Flavor Variations:
  • Add ¼–½ tsp cinnamon for a warm twist.
  • Add a drop or two of peppermint extract for chocolate-mint fat bombs.
