I’ve made a lot of keto fat bombs but THIS ONE is the best. It’s like a bougie peanut butter cup, and I love everything about it. Psst… there’s no peanuts here, though. Keep scrolling and I’ll let you in on a little secret.
I've been on a quasi keto kick lately and dabbling in some low-carb dessert action. (Mostly eating keto chocolate. Thanks Lily's.) After such a great response for the White Chocolate Raspberry Fat Bombs I shared last year, I wanted to make another kind of fat bomb -- a chocolate version.
Keto chocolate treats are super easy to make, too. You can have these ready to eat in under an hour!
What's a fat bomb?
A keto fat bomb little low-carb treat that's FILLED with healthy fats -- usually coconut oil, cacao butter, etc. They're a good way to enjoy a little something sweet while boosting your healthy fats.
Since I'm also on a chocolate-tahini kick lately I wanted to make a keto chocolate fat bomb that tasted kind of like a peanut butter cup -- but without the peanuts.
Turns out tahini + chocolate creates a peanut butter-chocolate flavor.
And since tahini is made from sesame seeds, it's nut-free! It's a great option for those who have peanut (or any nut) allergies. If you don't have a problem with nuts, you can use any kind of nut butter in these.
Store-bought chocolate is one of the things that is hardest to let go of if you're eating low-carb -- even high quality dark chocolate, because 99% of it is sweetened with sugar. I love using high quality cacao powder, like Anthony's. (I learned recently that COCOA powder is roasted and CACAO powder is raw, keeping more of the nutrients in tact.)
Thankfully it's easier to find low-carb friendly chocolate. Lily's is my favorite!

Peanut butter has a few carbs, but this recipe uses tahini (sesame butter). Did you know tahini takes on a peanut butter taste when you pair it with chocolate? Crazy, right?

Keto Fat Bomb Tips

Notes
Nat's Notes:
1. You can use a granulated low-carb sweetener, but it doesn't dissolve well and the cups end up grainy. Tasty, but not the ideal texture.
2. Feel free to substitute any type of nut butter in these.
4. You can use additional coconut oil in place of the cacao butter, but it won't stay quite as solid if you are transporting them.
