- Perfect for the holidays—or any day you’re craving something sweet. They’re a holiday favorite, but let’s be real, there’s no wrong time to whip these up. A random Saturday in March? Go for it. (I definitely do!)
- Think Buckeyes, but with extra chocolate for all the chocolate lovers out there. If you’re new to Buckeyes, they’re like this recipe, except the peanut butter ball isn’t fully dipped in chocolate (made to look like a Buckeye nut). But with this recipe, the chocolate isn’t held back—these PB balls are completely coated. More chocolate = more joy, right? 🙂

How to Make Keto Peanut Butter Balls {Quick Overview}
This is just a quick overview of some of the steps involved in making this low carb peanut butter dessert. For the recipe in detail, including exact measurements used at each step, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.
In a mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter, butter, vanilla extract, and Swerve Confectioners until everything’s well mixed.
Roll the mixture into small balls (about 2 teaspoons each) and place them on a cookie sheet.
💛 TIP: If the dough feels too soft to shape, just mix in a little more Swerve Confectioners (1 tablespoon at a time) until it firms up.
Chill the balls in the fridge until they’re nice and firm—about two hours is perfect.
In a microwavable bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave at 50% power in 20-second bursts, stirring each time, until the chocolate is fully melted.
💛 TIP: Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. When you stir it between bursts, give it a few stirs to distribute all of the trapped heat.
Grab a toothpick and dip the chilled peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate. Place them back on the cookie sheet as you go.
After dipping all the balls, pop them in the fridge to set the chocolate. Enjoy!
