Recipe notes:

I've used peanut butter powder instead of regular peanut butter to keep these low in calories while boosting the protein significantly. You can however use regular peanut butter for a richer finish.

To keep them sugar free make sure to use a sugar free or keto chocolate.  I used Zazubean's zero added sugar bars.
