Keto Peanut Butter Fudge

I have the ultimate low carb treat that tastes delicious, doesn’t raise your insulin level like most sugary treats AND each square is only 3 carbs each!

If you’ve been following me for awhile then you know that I try to eat low carb and low sugar foods.  

I usually pass on starchy carbs like white rice and breads, but I never completely cut out any food group.

If I feel like eating a dinner roll, then I’ll eat it with butter!  

See, I’m learning to consume more good for you fats. The same fats that I would barely let touch my lips are slowly being embraced.

Peanut butter fat bombs

Have you heard of the term fat bombs? The name is often used for treats that are made with a combination of low carb, low protein, and high fat ingredients, which fits these keto peanut butter fudge treats to a T!

Peanut butter, butter, olive oil, avocado, and coconut oil are staples in my kitchen, which have taken me awhile to appreciate.

Part of my interest in adding more healthy fats in my diet stems on the research and reading I’ve done on the Ketogentic Diet, which is becoming more popular, but is not a new fad.  

The Ketogentic Diet been used for over 90 years, but initially not used for dietary reasons.

The Keto Diet (higher fat, low carb, medium protein) was initially used by doctors as a therapeutic way to control epilepsy, and a host of other health diseases like cancer, autism, and Alzheimer.

What really caught my attention was the fact that a Keto Diet manages insulin levels. This is particularly of interest to me because I have a family history of diabetes.

Yes, I want my cake (sweet treats), AND I want to be healthy!  

Remember when I said that I don’t cut anything out of my diet?  I should have said ESPECIALLY dessert!

I know that my health is in my control, and just a small piece of this creamy Keto Peanut Butter Fudge gives me the joy, joy, dessert happiness that I deserve.  

Won’t you have a piece too? 🙂 You also might want to this Keto Paleo Fudge recipe or these Peanut Butter Fat Bombs!
