These Easy Keto Fat Bombs Taste Like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups!
These are the fat-bomb-dot-com!
Eating keto and LOVE chocolate desserts? (Of COURSE!) These copycat Reese’s fat bombs are a popular treat to curb sugar cravings. And because they’re high in good-for-you fats like coconut oil, you’ll feel satisfied after just a few!
Chocolate and almond butter are a match made in heaven!
There are so many different recipes for fat bombs floating around the internet, but today I’m sharing this yummy nut butter and chocolate combo that tastes similar to Reese’s peanut butter cups candy (just not quite as sweet). They’re so easy to make and contain only four ingredients!
Tips for making the BEST keto almond butter Reese’s fat bombs:
-
- Keep your keto bombs in a covered container in the freezer or fridge so they stay solid. They can last up to several months if frozen, although they tend to disappear quickly!
-
- I used these mini muffin papers but you could also use silicone reusable ones instead like my sidekick Jen has done! This recipe makes about 16 small bite-sized treats for me.
-
- Make sure to use unsweetened cocoa for these to keep them keto-friendly. You can then add a little bit of your favorite keto sweetener to balance it out!

These chocolate almond butter fat bombs are so GOOD!
They don’t taste bitter like other keto treats I’ve tested. I love the idea of keeping small bites of chocolate around for those moments when you need a little treat!
Here’s what my teammate Jen has to say about these chocolate almond butter fat bombs:
“This is one of my favorite go-to fat bomb recipes! First, it’s super easy to make and only uses 4 keto ingredients which I always have on hand. Second, they are yummy and help with my sweet tooth! They are chocolatey and almond butter perfection combined in a smooth candy. It’s so hard to believe these are keto. My entire family (even non-keto) loves them!”

I can’t wait to make these! I just started keto 4 weeks ago, and I’m so grateful for this site. ??
Hooray! Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy ?
These are delicious!!! And a lifesaver! I didn’t use any sweetener and they are still very good.
Thanks a bunch Kimberly!
Can you substitute peanut butter for almond?
Yes, although make sure to pick a low sugar kind.
Do these taste a lot like coconut? I’m not a huge fan of it, but if the flavor isn’t too strong I’d try it!
I do not think so. The chocolate overpowers I think!
If you get unrefined coconut oil these will taste more like coconut, but if you get refined it should have less of a coconut flavor. I am not a huge coconut fan either, but I got unrefined and they still taste good to me. 🙂
I used unsalted butter instead of the coconut oil
Hi Clarita! Thank you for the tip!
Will the feeling of eating an oil spill ever leave? I’m new to this and I’m dying over here! Lol
It never did for me. In fact, I threw up a lot from so much fat and not enough fruit and veggies 🤷
I have always considered Reese cups to be waaaaay to sweet, so I’m sure these will be delicious.
Can cocoa butter replace some of the coconut oil to make them firm at room temperature? If so, how much?
Yes! You can replace some of the coconut oil with cocoa butter for fat bombs which remain solid at room temperature. We recommend using 1/4 cup cocoa butter and 1/4 cup coconut oil in place of 1/2 cup coconut oil. Hope that helps!
Is there a particular cocoa powder you recommend? The link took me to an Amazon search result list. I’ve tried with Hershey’s Unsweetened Cocoa and it was so bitter!
What type of cocoa powder do you use? I’ve used then Hershey’s Unsweetened Cocoa Powder with a couple different fat bomb recipes and they all seem so bitter.
Hi Chelsea! There are a few options listed when clicking through the “unsweetened cocoa powder” link in the recipe above. Hope that helps!
I use Hershey’s and I think all unsweetened cocoa is (concentrated) bitter until you sweeten with a Keto -friendly sweetener to taste. Maybe other readers can chime in with their favorites!
I use Guittard Dutch Process Unsweetened Cocoa Powder. It’s $5.99 at my local grocery store and I find it to be significantly better than both Hershey’s and Ghirardelli. I buy it exclusively.
I am allergic to coconut, what other oil could I use for this?
HI Christie! Both ghee or butter are popular fat bomb alternatives to coconut oil. Hoping that helps!
These are good, but the coconut oil taste is a bit overwhelming and I love coconut. Next time I may try half coconut oil and half Kerry gold butter. Either way, a great treat and a great way to get some fat in because there are definitely some days where it’s tough to get in all the fat I need.
Great feedback thanks!!
I’m also not a fan of coconut. I made these using unrefined coconut oil and was too much coconut for me. I guess that can be a good thing, as I won’t overeat them! Next time, I’ll make it with refined. I also made a half batch, just in case lol. Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks for sharing Joan!
Made these today with 1/4 coconut oil and 1/4 coconut butter but forgot the sweetener. However, they are still amazing!!!
Thank you!
oh I’m so glad!
I did the recipe as it says but I used bigger liners. Like muffin size. It only made 7 bombs at about 42 gms a piece. Trying to figure out fats , protein and carbs per serving. Help
Hi Tory! To do that, you’ll want to multiply the number of servings times the macros and then divide by 7. Hope that helps!
This is just what I needed. Chocolate with no sugar. I cant believe I could make my own almond butter reese’s in the microwave. This is such a great recipe. I had all these ingredients already too. This was so surprisingly delicious.
So glad you could enjoy this, Jess!
These are so good! They are great to have on hand and keep well in the freezer. Yum!
Ooh! GREAT idea, Beth! SO glad you are loving them!
