Description
Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Cups are rich, layered low-carb treats made with a smooth chocolate shell, creamy peanut butter filling, and gooey caramel peanut layer. They taste like candy bars but are sugar-free and keto-friendly.

- 6 ounces sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 ounce cocoa butter
- 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 3 tablespoons powdered sweetener
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 3 tablespoons brown sugar replacement
- 3 tablespoons butter (for caramel layer)
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (caramel layer)
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Line 16 muffin cups with silicone liners.
- Melt chocolate and cocoa butter together until smooth.
- Spoon a thin layer of chocolate into each liner and freeze for 20 minutes.
- Mix peanut butter, butter, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth, then spread over chocolate layer.
- Refrigerate to set while preparing caramel.
- Cook allulose and brown sugar replacement in a pan until melted and amber-colored.
- Add butter and cream carefully, then simmer until thickened.
