Sugar-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Truffles {Nut Free Option}

Sugar-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge Truffles are little bites so good you’ll never notice they are sugar-free!

There’s nothing better than making something  at home that tastes just as amazing as a sugar filled treat, but without all the refined sugar.These little bites of heaven have less than .4 grams of sugar in them. This recipe is easily adapted to nut free by using sunbutter in place of the peanut butter.  Making these at home doesn’t require much time  and provides a nice treat to bring to any holiday party coming up.

Using Lily’s brand of sugar-free chocolate chips sweetened with stevia is the best choice here. I found them at Whole Foods market, but if you can’t find them using unsweetened carob chips would also work. Another option is to use unsweetened baking chips and add more of your favorite sweetener of choice until the desired sweetness.

They melt the same as regular chocolate chips and taste just as good!

My boys who have peanut and tree nut allergies were especially happy when they were able to eat these yummy chocolate bites since I used sunbutter the second time I made them. Hubby and daughter enjoyed the first batch using peanut butter. I like both!

I would keep them refrigerated until you’re ready to serve them as they will soften a bit when left out on the counter. Not an everyday treat but for special occasions and the holidays a great alternative to unhealthier choices don’t you think?

In case you’re wondering where I got this fabulous idea from, it was my grandma. Well actually I was browsing through her recipes for Christmas and came across her fudge buttons. It had butter, cocoa, confectioner sugar, milk and peanut butter, so I adapted from there. After on unsuccessful attempt the 2nd and 3rd were perfected! All thanks to my grandma!
