No-Bake Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars | Sugar-Free Peanut Butter Cups
I'm a bad mother. Every Halloween, my kids knew that once they were done trick or treating, they had to sit down and take out at least half the Peanut Butter Cups they had--because those were clearly meant for me.
I'm serious. I steal candy from my own kids. But at least it's only one kind. They can have (most of) the rest of it.
The thing is, keto Halloween candy is so difficult to get! So you'll have to make your own.
Fortunately for me, I'm not the only peanut-butter-chocolate addict who is trying to quit/reduce sugar.
Knowing there's one of those little sugar-free treats waiting for me has made things much easier.
I used to make a sugared version of these back in the day, and I wanted to reproduce that taste. But making sugar-free desserts requires some experimenting and testing.
It definitely takes a few specialty ingredients, but I tend to use those ingredients like Swerve and Sugar-Free Chocolate chips for other Keto Desserts so I am okay with stocking up on them.
These ended up turning out so good that they became a favorite of my readers!
What Desserts Can I Eat On Keto?
If you're new to a low carb lifestyle, you may be under the assumption that keto and desserts might not go hand in hand. You're only partially correct. While traditional sugar-filled desserts aren't keto-friendly, there are plenty of keto dessert options to choose from.

What Chocolates Are Keto Friendly?
Anyone that is craving or wanting to make a keto dessert is probably wondering what chocolates they can use and are keto safe. Here are some of my favorite low carb chocolate options to cook with or snack on (while I'm waiting for these keto peanut butter cups to chill):
How to Make A Great Keto Dessert: NO BAKE KETO PEANUT BUTTER FAT BOMB RECIPE
- Mix butter, peanut butter, and Swerve with the almond flour and pat out.
- Melt chocolate chips and pour on top.
- DO NOT RUSH THIS. Let it solidify in the fridge and let the tastes mingle. If you eat it too soon, it will taste like artificial sugar. Let the tastes meld together and it will be super fantastic. This is true for most keto desserts. You need to let them chill for a bit. Which is good for you in life as well, as it happens.

Equipment Needed For This Keto Dessert
Nothing fancy needed.
- I did use a pastry cutter, but you can also use two knives to cut the ingredients in if you prefer. The pastry cutter does make it easier and you can use it for other recipes as well.
- I also like to make these in an 8-inch pan, but it's a lot easier if you line it with parchment paper if you do that. Comes out very easily that way.

Keto or not... these things are the SHIT. Double the recipe because you’ll love them so much that you WILL want more.
Just... 👌🏻
Sam Fuchs
I used swerved sugar instead of powder turned out very granular and way too sweet.
Kim
Hello! I'm about to try to make these, but can you please let me know if Swerve is a must or if I can use Lakanto? Thank you!

You can use any kinds of sweetener you want

I love the taste of this.. so does my type 1 diabetic daughter!! However mine did not come out in squares. The peanut butter portion was very soft and smoothie. Delicious. But not like yours.
Suzi
Delicious! I have been looking for this recipe for about a year now. Definitely best left overnight (I can't keep my hands off of them any longer)! Best suggestions are to measure light on the flour and heavy on the sweetener (spoon the flour pack the sweetener), and to use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips instead of dark- to get an almost perfect recreation of that famous brand we all adore.
Doug Chisholm
I used natural peanut butter. Changed the texture from great to awesome.
Rhonda Meyers
this will be the first time making these, the recipe looks yummy. need to know how many servings and carbs
maesha
i made this using the listed speciality ingredients plus some minor adjustments (sprinkled coconut on top), delicious! i will say mine ended up being 13g carbs per serving once i divided into 8 squares so that's something to be mindful of - cut them into smaller pieces and you'll be fine
the note about flavours melding together were absolutely true bc it tasted just like regular chocolate and peanut butter to me. delicious, but def not something to go overboard on 🙂 thanks for sharing
Lesley
As I was out of peanut butter, I made your recipe with cashew butter and my word, it is lush, I will be making it with peanut butter when I get some, I'm sure it'll be just as wonderful, thank you x
Dennis Smith
Loved the peanut butter treats but why do you not give the serving size and the amount of carbs per serving ?
It is so frustrating to try and figure it out with all of your recipes, please go the extra step and put the carbs and serving size other wise you are helping no one.
Thank you and God Bless you and yours
