These homemade chocolate peanut butter fat bombs are super rich and completely addictive. They taste like biting into a Reeses peanut butter cup!
Easy chocolate peanut butter treats – just 4 ingredients.
This year for Halloween, I wanted to come up with a chocolate recipe that as many people as possible can enjoy, with keto, vegan, gluten free, oil free, nut free, and paleo options included.
Make up a big batch on Sunday, and take one from the freezer whenever a chocolate craving hits.

Do you have a favorite Halloween candy?
Each year if you google “most popular Halloween candy,” Reeses peanut butter cups beat out all of the other candy and chocolate bars on the market as everyone’s favorite Halloween candy.
It’s not even a close contest!
As a chocolate and peanut butter lover, I wholeheartedly agree Reeses are the best; and making my own peanut butter cup fat bombs at home not only saves packaging, it also means I get to decide what ingredients to use and how much sugar to add.

Because coconut oil melts at room temperature, use the melted chocolate option in the recipe instead of the coconut if not serving right away.
I brought the peanut butter bombs to a Halloween-themed picnic (we have a lot of picnics these days), and they were devoured by a group of monsters, pirates, ghosts, and vampires.
Also by one 5’3 hungry chocoholic giraffe.
Halloween is going to look a little different this year for sure, but thankfully there’s no rule that says you can’t still dress up and eat an abundance of chocolate.
The peanut butter fat bombs were adapted from these chocolate Fat Bombs and from these Homemade Peanut Butter Cups.

I can’t have coconut oil, would butter work okay?
Hi I found my peanut butter was way too soft. Had to eat straight out of the freezer but the chocolate was too solid. What am I doing wrong?
YUM! I added 1/2 tsp. vanilla and a pinch of monkfruit sweetener and pinch of sea salt to the melted chocolate/pb mixture, but it would’ve been great as the recipe calls for, too.
So simple and easy! I used a mini cupcake pan with liners, and found that I had to refrigerate the first layer before adding the chocolate, as the chocolate layer sank into the bottom layer!
Hopefully this tip helps someone else!
How long do you let it set it the freezer? and how to you store it?
10 minutes
Up to 3 months in freezer, but they’ll be eaten by then. 😉
What sweetener did you use? I gather the nutrition info provided is based on a non sugar type of sweetener
Jenn, I use Swerve confectioners. If I just use the plain sugar, it’s a little gritty.
I am really excited to try these. Not just because they are keto, but Reese’s is now adding TBHQ and they taste different. I’m glad these are healthier and I look forward to making a ton of your desserts!
