The keto diet is everywhere these days – which can be a good thing, since it has people keeping a close eye on carbs and sugar. And to help fill the void for keto-friendly snacks – and satisfy even the strongest sweet tooth – Ben McLauchlin of Swerve shows us how to whip up these rich, decadent “Keto Bombs” in a flash!
Chocolate Salted Peanut Butter Keto Bombs
Makes 6 servings.
Ingredients:
Chocolate Coating:
- 6 tablespoons coconut oil (melted) or salted butter
- 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons Swerve, Confectioners
Peanut Butter Filling:
- 6 teaspoons peanut butter (no sugar added)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Swerve, Confectioners
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt or Celtic sea salt
Instructions:
In a muffin pan, place muffin liners in 6 cups. Set aside.
Whisk together melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, and Swerve in a medium bowl. Place a tablespoon of chocolate mixture in each muffin liner. Freeze for 5 minutes.
In a separate, microwave safe bowl, whisk together melted cocoa butter, peanut butter, Swerve, and salt. Once combined, zap in microwave for 10 seconds. Remove chocolate from freezer, and add one teaspoon and a half of peanut butter mixture to the frozen chocolate coating. Freeze for another three minutes.
