My mom and dad have been on the Ketogenic diet for a few months so we have been trying to make our own food using real ingredients. Staying away from carbs and sugar, which are bad for your body. One of my favorite desserts you can have on the ketogenic diet is: Chocolate Peanut Buttercup Fat Bombs. They are so good and they taste just like Reese's Peanut Buttercups!
Here is a recipe we came up with using xylitol as a sugar substitute, but you can use any sugar substitute using a 1:1 sugar sub.
Ingredients
2 -3 tablespoons 100% Cacao Powder (we use Hershey's)
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (without sugar)
3-4 tablespoons Xylitol (or another sugar substitute)
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup Natural Peanut Butter (without sugar)
3-4 tablespoons Xylitol (or another sugar substitute)
Directions
- In two separate sauce pans, divide one stick of butter in half and melt each on low heat.
- When butter is completely melted, Add cacao powder and xylitol in one pan.
- In the other pan, put the peanut butter and the other half of xylitol in.
- Be sure to keep stiring them so the xylitol can break down.
- Using a silicone mold put the chocolate in each section half way up.
- Place the mold in the freezer for a few minutes for the chocolate to set.
- Once the chocolate is set in molds, put the melted peanut butter mixture in each section of the mold covering the chocolate.
- Freeze for about an hour and then eat!
Trick: We blend Xylitol in our magic bullet to make it the consistency of powdered sugar. Makes it easier to dissolve in the mixture. Also, you could use one sauce pan and mix the ingredients together, instead of doing them separately. We prefer to separate to get both flavors like Reese's.
A word of caution: Like chocolate and strawberries, xylitol can be poisonous for your dog. So please keep the peanut butter away from your dog.
