Why I Made These Easy Keto Desserts

Every Halloween, my kids know that once they were done trick or treating, they had to sit down and take out at least half the Peanut Butter Cups they had–because those were clearly meant for me. The thing is, keto Halloween candy is so difficult to get! So you’ll have to make your own. Fortunately for me, I’m not the only peanut butter and chocolate addict who is trying to quit/reduce sugar. Knowing there’s one of those no-fail keto dessert recipes waiting for me has made things much easier. I used to make a sugared version of these, and I wanted to reproduce that taste. But making keto desserts requires some experimenting and testing. It takes a few specialty ingredients, but I tend to use those ingredients like Swerve and Sugar-Free Chocolate chips for other Keto Desserts so I am okay with stocking up on them or making extras from some of my other recipes. These ended up turning out so good that they became a favorite of my readers!

What Can You Eat For Dessert On The Keto Diet?

Is Peanut Butter Bad For Keto?

Keto isn’t so much about what you eat, but more about hitting specific nutritional targets. And since you’re trying to hit a higher fat intake while keeping your carb count low, peanut butter (depending on which brand you reach for and the sugar content) is actually perfect for those of us living a keto lifestyle.

Equipment Needed For These Peanut Butter Bars

As much as I love my kitchen gadgets, nothing fancy is needed to make these low carb desserts!

I did use a pastry cutter, but you can also use two knives to cut the ingredients in if you prefer. The pastry cutter does make it easier and you can use it for other recipes as well. I also like to make these in an 8-inch pan, but it’s a lot easier if you line it with parchment paper if you do. Comes out very easily that way.
