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.

Are the carbohydrates listed net carbs? If not, how many net carbs are there per serving? Is it 4g net carbs?
ps
They turned out great. I put them in muffin cups so wr can pretend they are Reese's.
Natalie
This recipe sounded so good, but the bars came out so dry like a chalky consistency. I followed directions so not sure what I did wrong. Any suggestions for next time? Should I add coconut oil?
URVASHI PITRE
It sounds like your peanut butter may not have been as oily as it should have been. Yes I see no harm in adding a little more oil in that situation.
john jung
The butter, is it melted butter or softened butter or butter from the fridge as you are using a pastry cutter.
URVASHI PITRE
It’s softened butter.
joan
then specify that in the recipe
Susan
I love the peanut butter bars with chocolate on top (my first keto dessert!). But, I’m not sure what a serving is. How many servings does the recipe make so I can gauge it?
URVASHI PITRE
The recipe cards always tell you how many servings the recipe makes. You see that in the card?
Brittney Bouchard
I don’t do dairy, can I used vegan butter or coconut oil ?
