- There’s nothing like a classic Reese’s peanut butter cup. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate with sugary sweetness balancing the flavors is such a heavenly treat. Unfortunately, as with most commercial candies, health was an afterthought when they picked the ingredients.
This is why it is best to make them yourself to get your chocolate peanut butter fix. All it takes is three ingredient substitutions and a few simple steps to make crave-worthy keto peanut butter cups.
Though there are several store-bought “keto-approved” or “healthy” peanut butter cup products, they also have several flaws.
Atkins Peanut Butter Cups, for example, use maltitol as their primary sweetener and ingredient. Since maltitol has a similar glycemic index as an apple and is composed of 67% net carbs, we recommend avoiding any product that uses it on keto.
You may also come across SlimFast Keto Peanut Butter Cups. At first, their ingredients and carb counts look good, but many keto dieters find that the texture, flavor, and quality of ingredients fall short (especially when you consider the cost).
All in all, I’ve yet to find a keto peanut butter cup product with high-quality ingredients at a reasonable price. Since it is easy to make them yourself, homemade is the way to go.

In grams:
~50g butter
~60g sweetener
~125g peanut butter
~3g vanilla extract.
It'd be ~50g sweetener, but otherwise great job!
@@RuledMe You gave 64g sweetener in your reply to a previous comment above! Can you please clarify?? 🤷♂️
50g is correct. Remember that sweetener is somewhat subjective and you can taste the components before assembly to adjust them@@lizze8262
@@RuledMe Yes.. 👍 Great thank you. I'll give this a go for sure. 👍
Made this earlier in the week-so good! Definitely hit the spot and they were so easy.
I’m making my second batch now but used small liner to make half-sized cups to help with the calorie side of things.
Highly recommend. 10/10
Awesome to hear you enjoyed them! Sounds great making some mini cups 😊
Hello, how are you doing
Wow!!! Made these and they're great!
I used a little less sugar about 1/4 cup and maybe 7 ozs of Lilly's semi sweet chocolate chips plus a teaspoon of plant based butter. That way I could put a little chocolate on the bottom and then have enough left for the top. My husband really enjoyed them also. Will be making these more often now 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe
Blessings to you and yours
Awesome to hear you adapted it to your own ingredients and enjoyed it!
😍💗 Thank-you! Going to try using crunchy peanut butter
You're very welcome - let me know how it turns out with chunky PB!
@@shepherdboy9692 still waiting for some free time to make them ☺️
How are you doing today
با تشکر از شما. من از ایران تماشا می کنم. 👏👏👏💯
Finally finished my first batch. I had to chop them in half for low-calorie tracking. It has been a great sweet treat to snack on while eating keto-friendly meals. Making my 2nd batch now …
Awesome to hear you liked them enough to make a 2nd batch!
Mine are chilling now can’t wait 😝
@@shepherdboy9692 They are gorgeous. I’m going to try these with cashew butter next.
@@SONBON1 Awesome to hear! Just watch the carb count on the cashew butter because I know it can add up pretty quick :)
Mine too
Hello, how are you doing today
These are excellent. I’m ready to do a second batch. Thank you
Awesome to hear it is good enough to make another batch!
Probably eat too many. 😂
Hello, how are you doing today
They look so delicious I'm trying this thank you 🧡
Hello, how are you doing
Is it Cup Mini Muffin Pan? Which size should the Muffin pan and Paper Muffin Cups be?
They're just sold under "mini muffin pan" name, they don't usually have sizes. Any size works (bigger size just means thinner, wider pb cups).
Looks yummy 😋😋😋
These look incredible, do you think we could put the chocolate on the bottom aswel as the top, if I put chocolate in the bottom then put it in the fridge then do the peanut butter bit will that work?
Thanks! Definitely you can do that - it just takes an extra step of cooling the chocolate on the bottom before pouring peanut butter on it.
@@RuledMe thank you, I'm definitely going to try this at the weekend, will let you know a update when done it
I'm going to make it now
Let me know what you think when you eat one! 😁
Hi, do you think these would taste o.k. if I use plain chocolate, I don’t particularly like milk chocolate. Take care and stay safe.
Yes, they'd be totally fine with plain dark chocolate as well. I'd personally add a little sweetener, but that's all up to your personal tastes :)
Yumm
Hello, how are you doing today
thank you so much 😍 could you specify the amounts in grams?
56g butter
64g sweetener
129g peanut butter
3g vanilla extract
112g low-carb milk chocolate
I will try! It looks delicious as always! But need help please. I have 99% dark chocolate. What should I add to make milk chocolate?? Adding milk to the melted dark chocolate may not be good idea🤔 help please!
Heavy cream + sweetener. I'd use stevia, personally, because it's super concentrated and won't add any grit.
@@RuledMe thanks very much! I will try with heavy cream. I am mixing liquid stevia with liquid monk fruit usually.
@@ilknurokyaykelly No problem! Melt the chocolate and slowly mix the cream in until a good texture is reached. Then sweeten to taste :)
You rule again
What brand of peanut butter did you use?
I just use whatever's most easily available in the store. For PB I only buy brands that contain 2 ingredients: peanuts and salt. Usually the cheaper one for me is Smucker's Natural, but there are sometimes sales on other brands. If I'm at Costco, I'll use their Kirkland brand, too. It doesn't particularly matter what brand you use as long as you get something with no added sugar (typically either only peanuts or peanuts and salt on the ingredients list).
@@RuledMe Smucker's is my favorite in the 2# jars, which I reuse - the lids have great seals.
@@StephanieJoRountree you may also want to give Once Again peanut butter a try .
@@Chinese080808 I will look for it.

how can one even crave this amount of sweetness on keto?
Plenty of people eat sweets on keto - it's like asking how candy is so widely eaten in the US. Sweets are a part of our eating culture. Some people give it up completely on keto, but you don't really have to. I just recommend just eating sweets as a treat. If you're constantly eating them, you will crave them. If you limit them and eat them moderately, I don't see an issue with them.
For a sustainable, long-term diet change, you have to have things in your diet that you enjoy. For me, I enjoy sweets so I'd rather have them than not. If I wasn't allowed any sweets at all, I probably wouldn't have chosen to be keto for the last 15 years.
