Ingredients
Scale
- 240 g (1 cup / 8.5 oz) natural peanut butter (salted, runny)
- 170 g (6 oz / 170 ml) sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 85 g (6 tbsps / 3 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- 67 g (⅔ cup / 2.4 oz) peanut flour (unsweetened)
- 67 g (⅔ cup / 2.4 oz) powdered monk fruit allulose blend
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prep Surface: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to create a non-stick workspace for assembling fat bombs.
- Mix Base: Combine peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a mixing bowl. Blend thoroughly with a hand mixer until achieving a smooth, homogeneous texture. Gently fold in powdered monk fruit sweetener and peanut flour, ensuring consistent integration.
- Chill and Shape: Refrigerate the mixture for 20 minutes to firm up. Using cold, slightly damp hands, roll the mixture into uniform spherical portions with a small cookie scoop. Place the formed balls on the prepared baking sheet and return to the refrigerator to maintain their structure.
- Chocolate Coating: Establish a double boiler by positioning a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Melt chocolate chips, stirring until achieving a glossy, liquid consistency. Carefully skewer each chilled peanut butter ball with a toothpick and immerse in melted chocolate, leaving a small portion exposed.
- Finishing Touches: Transfer chocolate-coated spheres back to the parchment-lined sheet. Remove toothpicks and gently smooth any puncture points. Optional: Drizzle remaining chocolate in an artistic pattern. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate sets completely firm and crisp.
Notes
- Chill for Success: Refrigerate the peanut butter mixture for 20 minutes to prevent sticky hands and maintain precise ball shaping during preparation.
- Chocolate Coating Technique: Use a double boiler method for smooth, even chocolate melting without burning, ensuring a glossy and professional finish.
- Toothpick Pro Tip: Insert toothpicks before chilling to create a clean dipping mechanism for chocolate coating, minimizing mess and maximizing precision.
- Storage Recommendation: Store fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, allowing convenient make-ahead preparation and quick keto-friendly snacking.
