Peanut butter and Choc Chip Fat Bombs - Keto


Another easy 'fat bomb' recipe to get my fats intake up. These are really peanut buttery and the choc chips add a sweetness...but in saying that they are not overly sweet. If you like peanut butter you will like these.
The recipe makes 18, so I have adjusted the macros accordingly.










Ingredients
225 gms Cream cheese
113 gms butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup sweetener (I reduced this and will try to get it to no additional sweetener)
1 cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar peanut butter)
115 gms of sugar free choc chips (I prefer dark)

Instructions

  1. Soften cream cheese and butter in microwave.
  2. Mix all ingredients together
  3. Make into 18 balls
  4. Place in freezer to harden in airtight container. You may need to freeze them flat, then put in a container or bag.
