Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars

Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars

Are you a lover of all things peanut butter? I certainly am. And it doesn’t get much better than the flavor of yummy peanut butter coated in chocolate.

This is a modification of a low carb peanut butter fudge recipe I used to make. Although I liked the fudge, I thought the Splenda in it made it too sweet and it was a bit plain. What it really needed was a layer of chocolate on top!

For this easy keto peanut butter cups recipe, I changed the sweetener to a mixture of monk fruit and erythritol which tones down the sweetness. I also spread melted chocolate on top.

The added layer of chocolate makes these keto peanut butter bars taste just like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup! Plus, I think these squares would taste amazing cut up and blended into low carb vanilla ice cream – a homemade low carb DQ Blizzard.

Easy steps for making keto peanut butter bars

For the peanut butter layer, mix butter, collagen peptide, powdered sweetener, and peanut butter in a large bowl. Spread the peanut butter into a pan with parchment paper. Melt chocolate chips with a couple tablespoons of peanut butter. Smooth the chocolate layer over the peanut butter mixture. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Once chilled, the keto low carb treat is ready to cut into bars! It’s best to use a long sharp knife to cut them into even squares.

Recipe Inspiration

These gluten free peanut butter bars were inspired by a recipe that I learned how to make in middle school Home Economics class. That recipe mixed graham cracker crumbs into the peanut butter mixture as well as regular powdered sugar.

This version of easy to make low carb peanut butter chocolate bars brought back memories. It was so fun back in those days as a young teenager learning how to make food with friends.

In fact, I still have the handwritten note that my classmate gave me for the original bar recipe we made together in 8th grade. I loved the recipe so much, I kept it in an old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook that my mother handed down to me.

It’s great to be able to enjoy the same taste in a much healthier version of the no bake peanut butter bars.

Is peanut butter OK for keto diet?

Natural unsweetened peanut butter has about 4 grams of net carbs along with 16 grams of fat per 2 tablespoon serving. That makes it a low carb food that’s ideal for a ketogenic diet. However, some choose to avoid it because it often contains the mold aflatoxin.

Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars Author: Lisa MarcAurele 4.83 from 17 votes These low carb and sugar free chocolate topped peanut butter cup squares are an easy to make alternative to the famous peanut butter cup candy. Recipe Video (Click on Image to Play) Prep Time 15 mins Chill Time 30 mins Total Time 45 mins Print Pin Servings 35 squares Calories 81 Ingredients 1/2 cup butter melted 1/2 cup butter melted

2/3 cup collagen peptides or unflavored whey protein powder 2/3 cup collagen peptides or unflavored whey protein powder

1/2 cup Lakanto powdered monk fruit sweetener 1/2 cup Lakanto powdered monk fruit sweetener

1/2 cup natural sugar-free peanut butter 1/2 cup natural sugar-free peanut butter Topping: 3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips 3/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

2 Tablespoons peanut butter 2 Tablespoons peanut butter Instructions Line an 11×7 baking dish with waxed paper.

In medium bowl, mix the butter, collagen peptides, powdered sweetener, and peanut butter together. Spread mixture in the bottom of prepared pan.

In Pyrex or metal bowl over pot of simmering water, melt chocolate chips with the peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Pour melted chocolate over peanut butter mixture and spread evenly to cover top.

Refrigerate for at least an hour before cutting into squares. Keep in the refrigerator for snacking. Notes It’s best to use an electric mixer to ensure the peanut butter mix is well blended before spreading into the pan. Otherwise, you can get chunks of collagen or sweetener in the bars. Be sure to use a peanut butter with no added sugar. It should just be peanuts or peanuts and salt. I prefer using collagen peptide instead of whey powder as it’s dairy-free. However, if you do use whey, look for an unflavored one with the least amount of carbs. If you can’t find the powdered sweetener listed, a blend of 1/2 cup powdered erythritol with about 1/4 teaspoon stevia extract powder can be used instead..
