Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites

This recipe is for anyone who:

• Misses the convenience and comfort of traditional desserts

• Wants a keto dessert without sugar alcohol overload

• Has a weakness for peanut butter and chocolate (who doesn’t?)

• Loves quick, mess-free air fryer recipes

Creamy peanut butter and tangy cream cheese come together to create a silky filling, wrapped in low-carb tortillas and packed with melty chocolate chips. The air fryer gives them a beautiful golden crunch on the outside, while the inside stays soft and gooey. Oh, and they’re only around 2-3 net carbs per bite (depending on your tortilla and chip brand).

Ingredients (Only 6!)

This is a low-carb lover’s dream—just six basic ingredients you likely already have on hand:

• 2 large Keto Tortillas – Look for high-fiber options with minimal net carbs.

• 4 ounces Cream Cheese (softened) – Full-fat for best results.

• 4 tablespoons Natural Peanut Butter – Choose unsweetened, no-stir versions.

• ¼ cup Keto Chocolate Chips – Plus 2 tablespoons for drizzling. Lily’s or ChocZero are great options.

• 1 tablespoon Melted Butter – Adds that rich, golden finish.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

You’ll be amazed at how little you need to create something so satisfying:

• Mixing bowl

• Spoon or spatula

• Knife

• Air fryer with tray or basket

• Microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)

• Pastry brush (or use the back of a spoon to brush butter)

Optional:

• Parchment paper – For easier cleanup in the air fryer.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and natural peanut butter. Stir until fully blended and smooth.

Step 2: Assemble the Wraps

Lay your keto tortillas on a flat surface. Spread half of the filling mixture on each tortilla in an even layer. Leave a small border around the edges.

Sprinkle the ¼ cup of keto chocolate chips evenly over both tortillas.

Step 3: Roll and Slice

Tightly roll up each tortilla, starting from one edge to form a log. Use a sharp knife to slice into 1-inch rounds. You should get about 8–10 bites per tortilla.

Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection

Layer the bites cut-side up in your air fryer basket or tray. Brush each with melted butter.

Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 6–8 minutes, or until golden brown. Watch closely in the last 2 minutes—tortillas can crisp quickly!

Step 5: Add the Chocolate Drizzle

While the bites are cooking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.

Once the bites are golden and crisp, remove them from the air fryer and drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.

Tips & Tricks for the Best Keto Dessert Bites

• Use room-temperature ingredients. Cold cream cheese won’t mix well.

• Don’t overfill the tortillas. It may leak out during cooking.

• Watch your air fryer. Different brands can vary in heat distribution.

• Line with parchment (if your air fryer allows) to prevent sticking.

• Double batch friendly! Make extras and refrigerate or freeze for later.

Flavor Variations and Swaps

These bites are easily customizable. Try these tasty twists:

1. Nut-Free Version

Use sunflower seed butter or almond butter instead of peanut butter.

2. Cinnamon Roll Style

Swap peanut butter for cinnamon and a bit of powdered sweetener. Add a cream cheese glaze drizzle.

3. Strawberry Delight

Add chopped fresh strawberries to the filling for a fruity surprise.

4. Mocha Madness

Add a pinch of instant espresso powder to the filling for a chocolate-coffee twist.

5. Savory-Style Bites

Use cream cheese, herbs, shredded chicken, and cheese for a savory snack instead of sweet.

Storing Leftovers (If You Have Any!)

These bites are best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can definitely be stored:

Refrigerator:

• Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes, or microwave for about 30 seconds.

Freezer:

• Freeze before or after cooking.

• If freezing unbaked, wrap tightly and air fry from frozen, adding 2–3 extra minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are these bites kid-friendly?

Absolutely! Kids love them and won’t even notice they’re keto. You may want to skip the drizzle for less mess if packing them for lunchboxes.

Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

Full-fat cream cheese works best for both texture and flavor. Low-fat can make the filling too watery or bland.

Can I bake these in the oven?

Yes! Bake at 400°F (204°C) on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

What brand of keto tortillas is best?

Mission Carb Balance, Siete Almond Flour (not zero-carb but low enough), or Egglife wraps are good options. Always check net carbs!

How many carbs per bite?

This depends on your exact ingredients, but typically these bites run about 2–3 net carbs each if using low-carb tortillas and sugar-free chocolate chips.
