We love these chocolate maple peanut butter keto bombs. They contain just the right combination of salty and sweet, and the maple adds a warm and comforting element to these chocolates. You can make these treats using either chocolate molds or mini muffin tins. There will never be a temptation to grab a high carb sweet when you have these amazingly delicious treats waiting for you! Enjoy!
Let’s talk about the ingredients in these chocolate maple peanut butter keto bombs!
We start with a combination of keto peanut butter, butter, coconut oil, and cocoa powder. For my peanut butter, I check the nutritional labels and choose ones whose only ingredient is peanuts or ones which contain peanuts and salt. For coconut oil, there is a difference between refined and unrefined coconut oil. Refined oil is more processed than unrefined. This results in refined coconut oil tasting more neutral while unrefined coconut oil has a much stronger coconut taste. I prefer the unrefined oil and I love the coconut taste it adds. The cocoa powder brings the perfect chocolate flavor to our chocolates. To finish off our treats, we add keto powdered sugar, salt, and maple extract. I like the addition of salt in these treats even if my peanut butter contains some; but you can leave it out or just add a pinch of salt if you’d prefer.
Are these chocolate maple peanut butter keto bombs difficult to make?
These treats are actually quite easy and a lot of fun to make! I recommend heating your mixture of peanut butter, butter, coconut oil, and cocoa powder over medium low heat in order to avoid burning your chocolate. Since you don’t want lumps in your mixture, I also recommend sifting your cocoa powder before adding it to the other ingredients. As soon as your mixture is completely combined and smooth, you’ll want to remove it from the heat. Then immediately stir in the remaining ingredients. Stir well until your mixture is smooth. I like to place the mixture into a glass measuring cup so it’s easier to pour. I used chocolate molds to make my treats, but alternately you can pour even amounts into paper lined mini muffin tins. Last, you’ll want to let your chocolates set for 30 minutes in the freezer, or until completely set, before serving.
Why should I make my own chocolates?
There are quite a few great reasons you might want to think about making your own chocolates. First, it’s fun and easy to do and the results are delicious! Next, when you make your own, you’ll know exactly what goes into them and will be able to avoid ingredients you don’t want. Another great reason to make your own chocolates is so you’ll always have awesome keto sweets available and won’t ever have to be tempted to grab high carb ones. Last, when you make your own chocolates, you can adjust ingredients and amounts of ingredients to suit your taste. You can add more or less salt to your treats or more or less sweetener if you’d like. Also, if you’d prefer, you can substitute other extracts in place of the maple to truly make these chocolates your own!
