Peanut Butter Keto Treats

If you follow a rigorous diet like keto, the holidays might be difficult to manage, but I’m here to help you out this season!

These buckeyes have only 1g of net carbs each, making them a wonderful alternative if you want a treat but don’t want to undo all of your hard work!

Easy Entertaining: Make These No-Bake Snacks

This recipe yields 50 buckeyes and only takes around 20 minutes to prepare! They’re a great treat to keep on hand in case you have any unexpected visitors over the holidays.

They keep for about a week in the fridge, so they’re ideal to give as gifts if someone else is hosting.

The Best Way to Make Keto Buckeyes

Here are some ingredient options for making delicious goodies with the fewest carbs:

• Use the lowest carbohydrate peanut butter you can find. I’ve found that Santa Cruz Organic Dark Roasted Peanut Butter has the fewest carbohydrates and contains no additional additives or sugar.
• One bag of Swerve Confectioners is 12 ounces unless you get the super enormous ones. This recipe calls for 16 ounces of Swerve, which equals 13 bags. Before you begin, double-check that you have enough!
• I’ve found Lily’s Semisweet Chocolate Chips to be the lowest in carbohydrates. However, feel free to use your favorite chocolate in this recipe!

Chef’s Advice

• To get your peanut butter balls the same size, use a tiny cookie scoop. This technique is made so much easier with one that has a releasing handle!
• You can use a microwave or a bain-marie to melt the chocolate.
• The Buckeyes will set in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
• These snacks will last up to a week in an airtight jar in the fridge.

Equipment

Instructions For Keto Buckeyes

1. Peanut butter, butter, vanilla essence, and Swerve confectioner’s sugar are mixed together. Roll into 1-inch diameter balls, chilling if necessary to roll.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave for 60 seconds, then thoroughly stir. Microwave in 30-second increments, swirling thoroughly in between until chocolate is smooth and melted.
3. Place a toothpick in each peanut butter ball and dip it into the melted chocolate mixture, leaving only a naked circle at the top. Dip peanut butter balls with a fork instead.
4. Place on a wax or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Remove toothpicks from buckeyes while still soft and spread peanut butter to cover the toothpick hole. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to harden.
