How To Make Foolproof Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Fat Bombs
These Foolproof Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Fat Bombs are amazing. I tried to make fat bombs once before. I used coconut oil and sugar-free hazelnut coffee flavoring. They were an abomination. The hazelnut flavor globed up in little bubbles. So not every bite had any sweetness. They were too hard to eat. It was a total failure. That’s why I have never made them again. Not even these ones. Nope, My girlfriend Serenity made these.
She said it was super easy and wrote down her recipe. So easy even a caveman like me could do make them. Little did she know I would take her hand written recipe and make it into a blog post. She’s probably turning red right now reading this.
What Are Fat Bombs?
Fat bombs are little hight fat treats. Usually made from a combination of coconut oil, nuts and seeds and butter. They are created by some anonymous genius and has spawned thousands of recipes. They are a much loved low carb, keto and paleo staple.
Why Eat Fat Bombs?
When transitioning to a lower carb diet many miss the occasional sweet treat. Also, they are under-eating and not getting enough fat in. Fat bombs solve both of those problems.
When I am really tracking my macro numbers I shoot for about 80% of my calories from fat. To get that high you sometimes need to add in meals and snacks made almost entirely from fat. In the winter my go to is Paleo Coconut Curry Soup.
I found a good post on why Fat bombs are healthy. I covered the heightened brain functions I had on my 3 day fast post. Eating more fat helps you get into and stay in ketosis. Once in ketosis, your body will use ketones as its main fuel source. Ketones are beneficial to a host of body functions.
Foolproof Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Fat Bombs
So give Serenity’s Foolproof Chocolate Peanut Butter Keto Fat Bombs a try. If by chance you don’t like the taste of stevia you can try xylitol. It is a natural no calorie sweetener that even Couch Potato Mike Likes. It has no after taste or bitterness. In fact, it tastes just like sugar. Which is why I don’t like it. It is less sweet than stevia so you will have to use more of it. Just be careful with using too much. You will get disaster pants if you overdue it.
- 1/2 Cup Coconut OIl
- 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter

Man… how timely is this…
One month ago I started on a ‘Ketogenic’ diet.I was hesitant because I’m a carb freak… having potatoes, rice or pasta or with bread at every meal has been a staple of my lifelong diet…. I have seen the light. Once I cut the carbs from my diet and stayed Ketogenic, I didn’t crave the carbs like I thought I would. I also gave up all carbonated beverages. I have lost over 30 pounds. I feel great and my elevated blood pressure has returned to normal without medications.
I do crave sweets… especially in the evening and have given in sparingly. I will try Serenity’s recipe, in fact, looking forward to it.
Thank you (and Serenity)
TinMan
Youre very welcome. My story is alot like yours! So I found us something sweet. Lol enjoy!
Serenity,
Got to tell I tried this recipe’. Made a triple batch, half with added coconut shreds. I brought these sweet treasures to a weekend gathering of friends…..
They were devoured, enjoyed by all.
The Ketogenic diet is still working. minus 45 pounds since last fall and feeling good.
Thank y’all
That’s amazing! Glad you liked them and it’s working for you
How many net carbs are in these?
If you dont like the bitterness aftertaste of stevia just adjust it to 2 tablespoons stevia plus two tablesspoons of xylitol. Just tastes like sugar….and I havent noticed any poops.
Oh yeah if anyone falls upon this recipe new to fat bombs….store these in your freezer all the time and just take out one or two to eat or theyll melt because of the coconut oil.
Congrats on the switch to a ketogenic diet. I feel it is the best. Don’t think twice about emailing me with any questions
Can you use unsweetened chocolate bars instead of powder?
That sounds like it will work. Give it a try and let me know
How much of the mixture goes in each mold and what are the calorie and macro counts?
Can we use almond butter? I’m new new to Keto and heard it was a no no?
What’s the carb fat protein ratio on these?
I’ve been having trouble getting the right sugar substitute, I don’t care for Stevia as it’s too bitter for me. They are staying blended well… Splenda floated to the top… Swerve sunk to the bottom. Xylitol has never been my friend so I haven’t even bothered trying that. They taste ok if I chew really really fast to get the sugar mixed in… any tips?
I’ve only used stevia and xylitol. You can try a blend of both to try to cut the bitterness. I’ve eaten stevia for so long I don’t taste any bitterness
I’m a glad I found this! I am having SUCH a hard time getting all my far in every day, and as a newbie to keto I still don’t quite know all the tricks. I’m going to make these tonight, but my question is whether or not you know the macros info on them? If so, please do let me know so I can track appropriately. Thanks so much!
P.s., the girlfriend sounds like a keeper. Just sayin’. 😉
Please forgive my typos :/
Made these today and used Pyure as the sweetener. These are probably the best I have had. What is the carb count for these so I can figure it into my count?
I made another batch of these again yesterday. I too, use the ‘Pyure’ sweetener…. seems to work well, the taste is not unpleasant.
Another ‘Mod’ I tried that works well for slightly different texture and taste is to substitute the peanut butter (which I love) with Cream cheese…..
Yum
I’ve tried them with cream cheese too and liked them a lot
I’ll have to figure it out. And it will vary depending on what brands you use
I thought peanut butter was a no-no. Do you have the nutritional value of these luscious looking treats?
