Keto Pecan Turtle Candy (Sugar-Free & Low-Carb)

  • 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • ¼ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Swerve Granular Sugar (or regular erythritol)
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup Chopped Pecans
  • ½ Cup Lily’s Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

  1. In a saucepan, gently brown the butter over medium heat, being cautious not to overcook.
  2. Once the butter turns a light brown color, add the cream and stir.
  3. Incorporate the Swerve (or erythritol) and vanilla, then cook for 3-5 minutes until the mixture thickens and blends fully.
  4. Remove from heat, add in the chopped pecans, and mix well.
  5. On a parchment-lined tray, portion out 6-8 clusters of the caramel pecan mixture.
  6. Allow them to freeze for approximately 30 minutes until they set.
  7. In 30-second intervals, microwave the chocolate until it melts, and then drizzle it over the caramel pecan clusters.
  8. Freeze again for 5 minutes to solidify the chocolate.
  9. Store any leftover candies in the refrigerator or freezer.
