These low carb strawberry peanut butter chocolate bites are one of those desserts that look far more complicated than they actually are. You only need dark chocolate, fresh strawberries and peanut butter, plus a silicone mold to put everything together.
I make them with 85% dark chocolate and unsweetened peanut butter for a simple no-bake treat that satisfies that chocolate craving without turning dessert into a whole project. The active prep takes only a few minutes, then the fridge does the rest.

How to Prepare
👩🏾🍳 Instructions
-
Melt the chocolate
Use a double boiler or microwave (30 seconds at a time, stirring in between) until fully melted and smooth. -
Create the chocolate base
Spoon a little melted chocolate into the bottom of each silicone mold. -
Freeze the base
Place the molds in the freezer for 5 minutes so the chocolate can harden. -
Add the filling
Add a few chopped strawberry pieces and a small drop of peanut butter to each mold. -
Fill with chocolate
Cover the filling with more melted chocolate until the molds are full. -
Optional: Add sea salt
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top to boost the flavor. -
Chill until set
Freeze for 10–15 minutes or refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
💡 Extra Tip
If you have leftover filling, grab a spoon and top it with some low carb whipped cream for a mini dessert moment 😄
How to Keep These Chocolate Bites Low Carb
The ingredients make all the difference here. Choose dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage, preferably 85% or higher, and use peanut butter without added sugar. Strawberries add natural sweetness, so you really don’t need much else.
If you track carbohydrates closely, always check the labels on your chocolate and peanut butter because the numbers can vary considerably between brands.
Nutrition note: Exact nutrition will vary depending on the chocolate and peanut butter brands you use, as well as the size and number of bites your mold produces.
Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Bites
- Only 3 main ingredients: Chocolate, strawberries and peanut butter.
- No baking: Melt, assemble and chill.
- Minimal active prep: Most of the time is simply waiting for the chocolate to set.
- Easy portioned dessert: The silicone mold does all the work for you.
- Make-ahead friendly: Keep them chilled for an easy chocolate treat when you want something sweet.
How to Store Them
Keep the chocolate bites refrigerated in a covered container. Because they contain fresh strawberries, I prefer them well chilled rather than left sitting at room temperature.
You can also use the freezer to speed up the setting process, as shown in the recipe instructions.
