This is the kind of recipe that lets you enjoy the season without starting over in January.

How to Make Low Carb Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge

Step 1: Create the Peanut Butter Base

Add the following to a microwave-safe bowl:

• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

• ½ cup monk fruit sweetener

• ½ stick of butter

Microwave for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

Step 2: Add the Flavor

Stir in

• 1 cup low-sugar peanut butter or almond butter

• 1 tsp vanilla

• ½ cup powdered monk fruit (or another low-glycemic sweetener)

Mix until completely smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Prepare the Pan

Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray.Pour the peanut butter mixture into the dish, spreading evenly and making sure to reach the corners.

Step 4: Add the Chocolate Layer

Melt:

• 1½ cups Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips

Microwave in 45-second intervals, stirring between each round to avoid burning.

Pour melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle lightly with coarse salt for that sweet-salty finish.

Step 5: Freeze & Slice

Place the dish in the freezer for 1 hour. Remove, slice into squares, and enjoy an incredible low-carb Christmas treat.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream

Staying On Course During the Holidays (Without White-Knuckling It)

Here’s what I’ve learned after years of low carb, weight loss, and hormone healing: success isn’t about perfection—it’s about support.

Even with recipes like this, the holidays can still bring:

• Energy dips

• Cravings

• Brain fog

• Disrupted sleep

• That “off track” feeling

That’s why I personally use exogenous ketones as part of my daily routine.

How Ketones Help Me Stay Consistent

Ketones help your body stay in a fat-burning, focused state, even during stressful seasons.

✨ Clean, steady energy without caffeine crashes

✨ Craving control so treats stay intentional

✨ Mental clarity & focus (huge during busy holidays)

✨ Supports fat loss by keeping your metabolism flexible

✨ Better sleep quality by stabilizing blood sugar and cortisol

They don’t replace good food—but they support your body while you’re building habits that last.

If you ever feel like you’re doing “all the right things” but still struggling with energy, focus, or consistency, ketones may be the missing piece.
