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!
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.

very tasty, however the sugar free chocolate is so bitter that it almost ruins the dish for me. will try it again one more time, but will mix some of the swerve and 35% cream into the melted chocolate first before spreading.

After a week of no sweets this was a perfect treat! I had one after making them an hour later and then one the morning after. There is a big difference, they taste so much better letting them sit over night! So yummy!
Misty
