These keto buckeyes are so rich and velvety that you only need a few bites to feel satisfied, which makes it perfect for portion control. It’s a winning recipe for those who love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate on a low carb diet!

This keto fudge recipe has a secret ingredient that helps give it structure and makes it velvety smooth. If you’re a regular reader here, you won’t be surprised to learn it’s cream cheese!

We love to use cream cheese in our keto recipes around here! The cream cheese not only gives them a perfect consistency but also adds a little more protein and fat.

The addition of cream cheese (and butter) is why this fudge is also considered to be a fat bomb.

So not only are you getting a yummy treat, but it’s a great way to increase your fat macros while doing a ketogenic diet.

How To Make Easy Keto Buckeye Fudge

So, how do you make keto peanut butter fudge? The process of making these little treats is pretty simple, and the most challenging part is waiting for it to set before eating it all!

All you need to prepare this sugar-free peanut butter fudge recipe is to combine peanut butter, cream cheese, and salt. Then, you’ll add the melted butter and vanilla extract and carefully mix it all up.

You’ll add the powdered sugar substitute half at a time, combining entirely in between.

Then, in a separate microwave bowl, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar in the microwave in 30-second intervals or use a double boiler over low heat. Next, swirl the melted chocolate into the peanut butter mixture.

Once that’s done, all that’s left is to pour your mixture into your prepared freezer-safe dish, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and sea salt flakes, and place it in the freezer.

It’s truly that simple to make!

I chose this route rather than forming buckeye balls for extra ease. I also skipped the addition of chocolate coating for the same reason.

I wanted you to have an easy recipe that you could make on repeat without any fuss! You’re welcome!

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

The ideal place to keep this keto-friendly buckeye fudge is in the refrigerator for up to 10 days or in the freezer for a month.

Although it may be kept longer, I believe the taste would begin to deteriorate after being frozen for an extended period.

Personally, I prefer to keep my fudge already sliced and separated into small servings. However, you may store the entire slab of fudge and cut it before eating.

Just remember, you can’t keep it at room temperature; you must freeze or chill it. Since cream cheese is among the ingredients in this recipe, it must be refrigerated at all times.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

In case you don’t know, Randy and I came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective. As believers, we live our lives supported by God’s grace.

So when the Holy Spirit led us to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting, we got on the path to real transformation.

Knowing firsthand the benefits of this decision, we have created a closed Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives. 

We invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.
