The image shows a close-up of a round truffle with two visible layers: a smooth, bright orange inner filling that looks creamy and dense, and a thick, shiny dark brown chocolate coating covering the bottom and sides but leaving the top exposed. The top orange layer is sprinkled with small white flakes, adding texture. One truffle is bitten, revealing the thick chocolate shell around the rich orange filling.

Ingredients

1 cup natural peanut butter (salted, the kind that’s a little runny)
6 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp sea salt (to taste)

2/3 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend
2/3 cup peanut flour (no sugar added)

6 oz sugar-free dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for shaping the fat bombs.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Use a hand mixer to beat until smooth.

Step 3: Beat in the Besti powder and peanut flour until the mixture is smooth. Taste and adjust the sea salt if needed.
Step 4: If the mixture feels too sticky or thin to handle, refrigerate it for about 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 5: Wash your hands with cold water to cool them, then use a small cookie scoop to portion out the peanut butter mixture. Shape into balls quickly to avoid melting, and place them on the lined baking sheet.

Step 6: Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for approximately 20 minutes until firm.
Step 7: Melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler method, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Step 8: Insert a toothpick into each peanut butter ball and dip into the melted chocolate, leaving a small spot of peanut butter visible at the top. Place back on the baking sheet.

Step 9: Remove the toothpicks and smooth over any holes with your fingers. If desired, drizzle remaining melted chocolate over the fat bombs for extra decoration.
Step 10: Refrigerate the fat bombs for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set and firm.

Tips & Variations

If you want a different flavor, try substituting almond butter for peanut butter.

Use a small cookie scoop for consistent-sized fat bombs that are easy to handle.
For a crunchier texture, add chopped nuts or seeds to the peanut butter mixture before shaping.
To make dipping easier, keep the peanut butter balls chilled until right before dipping them in chocolate.

Storage

Store the fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. They can also be frozen for up to three months. To enjoy, thaw in the fridge or at room temperature and enjoy chilled or slightly softened. Reheat gently if desired, but avoid microwaving to prevent melting the chocolate unevenly.

How to Serve

The image shows a white plate full of round peanut butter balls that are half-covered in dark chocolate. Each ball has a smooth, creamy orange peanut butter layer on top and a thick, shiny dark chocolate coating covering the bottom half. Some of the chocolate-covered balls have extra chocolate drizzled on top, creating thin dark lines. A few of the peanut butter tops are sprinkled with coarse sea salt flakes, adding white specks. The plate is placed on a white marbled surface with soft lighting highlighting the shiny texture of the chocolate and the creamy texture of the peanut butter. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
