Choc Peanut Butter Fat Bombs

Another fabulous snack recipe doing the rounds of social media.  You might have even seen them yourself as they are trending ALL over Facebook and TikTok becoming viral.

Who doesn't love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter?! Each is great, but they are better together. They are a match made in heaven, and you can still enjoy the marriage without all of those too many carbs getting in the way.

Chocolatey, coconutty, and slightly sweet and yes, the name for these babies are Fat Bombs. With the popularity of the Keto diet, fat bombs have become the ultimate keto candy.

What Are Fat Bombs?

If you know anyone following a keto lifestyle, I can almost guarantee they are whipping up fat bombs on the regular! They are a very popular craze for a reason and they are here to stay!

Low carb, keto, no-bake treats such as fat bombs are typically made with ingredients such as nut/seed butters, coconut cream, coconut butter or oil, cream cheese, dark chocolate, avocado and little to no sugar.

They are called fat bombs because they incorporate healthy fats into keto desserts to keep you satiated between meals. They are easily portion controlled, and the richness of the healthy fats is very satiating to the taste buds.

Oh, and did I mention they are easy to make? They only take a few minutes, so they are great to keep in mind for those times when you need a really fast dessert or sweet healthy treat.

Are Fat Bombs Healthy?

I know people have very different views on how much fat to eat in a day, so while my own diet is pretty high in healthy fat it will of course depend on your own personal views and dietary needs.

These treats are not only high in heart-healthy fat,they are also completely free of refined carbohydrates and sugar, and the fat helps you to feel full and satisfied with just a small amount. So it’s not like cookies or candy where you could eat a ton and yet somehow still be just as hungry as before you started.

People trying to reduce their sugar intake often complain about the lack of sweets in their quest to get healthier. That’s because a low-carb way of eating is very focused on eliminating harmful sugar from your diet. But there are options for that lingering sweet tooth in your life.

Fat bombs are the perfect snack for anyone who tends to like desserts that are rich and delicious but not super sweet. Since they are so low in sugar, they are great for eating any time of the day, either on their own or as part of a meal – breakfast, afternoon, post-workout, or as a nighttime healthy snack instead of potato chips or ice cream.

You will discover these fat bombs are BURSTING with flavor! The way the chocolate blends so perfectly with the peanut butter and coconut makes them taste like something really naughty. Except they fill you up and don’t make your blood sugar levels go wacko!

As with anything, moderation is key for these, but they are so filling that it’s much easier to feel satisfied even after just a small amount.

They are the perfect little craving busters and sweet tooth tamers. Enjoy one after dinner or lunch to lessen your chance of succumbing to that bag of chocolate chips that has been sitting in the pantry (or the tub of ice cream in the freezer that is calling you!)

If you have never tried keto fat bombs before, they are…well…da bomb!
