Let’s talk about some of the key ingredients for these chocolate orange peanut butter keto bombs!
When you purchase your peanut butter, make sure to carefully read the nutritional information. Many brands add sugar. I like my peanut butter to contain only peanuts.🥜I love the addition of salt with chocolate, so I used salted butter for my chocolates. When buying coconut oil, it’s good to know the differences between refined and unrefined coconut oil. Refined oil is more processed than unrefined. This results in refined coconut oil being more neutral tasting while unrefined has a stronger coconut taste. I prefer the unrefined coconut oil, especially when using in recipes in which I want a hint of coconut taste to come through.
I have tried many different brands of unsweetened cocoa powder. I recently came across the Rodelle brand. It is a Dutch processed cocoa which results in a darker colored cocoa that has a smoother and milder taste. You can, however, use a regular cocoa powder for this recipe. Make sure you use a keto powdered sugar substitute and not granulated sugar for this recipe. You don’t want grainy chocolates! I love the combination of orange and vanilla extracts for this recipe. The orange flavor isn’t overpowering; but it creates a distinct fresh burst of flavor I think you’ll enjoy!
Are these chocolate orange peanut butter keto bombs difficult to make?
These chocolates are actually quite simple to make. But they are so pretty you might not want to tell people that.😊Just make sure you heat and stir your peanut butter, butter, coconut oil, and cocoa powder until the mixture is entirely melted and completely combined and smooth. Then after adding the remaining ingredients, stir until your mixture again is smooth. This recipe will make a different number of chocolates, depending on what size candy molds you use. I have used a medium mold and this recipe made 16 chocolates. When I used miniature molds, it made 40 chocolates. It is important to freeze these chocolates in their molds for at least 30 minutes before removing them from the molds. Then simply store in a covered container in the freezer and grab one (or more) when you’re needing a quick keto treat!
