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.

Can I make this with Carbalose or carbquik and if so, do I need to alter the recipe? Also, can I use liquid stevia instead of the swerve?
TwoSleevers
I wouldn't use Carbquick as a substitute to the almond flour in this recipe. The Carbquick has other ingredients that can alter the flavor. I would also skip the liquid stevia. The powdered swerve helps thicken the peanut butter and turn it into a paste. I'm worried the liquid stevia may make it too watery.
