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! 

What is in Keto Chocolate Fat Bombs?

Cacao butter is also easy to find online. Cacao butter is solid at room temperature and helps to hold everything together better. You could swap it out for coconut oil, but you’d have to be careful and keep them chilled.

And, like the other fat bombs I posted, I use the erythritol-based Swerve confectioner’s sugar. (I order both from Amazon because the prices are better there.) You can use any low-carb powdered sugar you like.

I also added some Maldon sea salt flakes to the top. So, so glad I did. My tahini is unsalted, so it gave it a little bit of extra dimension. If you have salted tahini you may want to omit the salt flakes.

Actually, get a box of Maldon sea salt flakes anyway because it’s a FABULOUS finishing salt and you can make a whole bunch of Everything Bagel Seasoning. Mmm.

Also, I used a mini muffin tin for these, but you can use a full-size tin — just fill them 1/3 full so they’re a manageable size. Or not. “Manageable size” is totally relative. (I hold my desserts pretty well.)

Look how cute these are! I was so happy with the way they turned out. I highly recommend storing them in the fridge since they soften quite a bit at room temperature.

I love taking these in an insulated container on road trips. And they’re awesome to have around during candy-centric holidays. And I feel so much better if I happen I eat a few more than I planned — unlike actual peanut butter cups.
