KETO CARAMEL NUT CLUSTERS
Easy recipes for the holidays are my favorite. Making a perfect little dessert to share and bring to a party and that no one knows is low carb or keto makes me super happy.
I love the surprising faces of friends when they they try something for the first time but clearly can not believe they are eating something without sugar. I live for those moments.
This recipe is one that will certainly get those jaws dropping when they taste these delicious butterscotch flavored caramel nut clusters. You don't have to use pecans, any nut you like will work. Almonds would be nice or even walnut, but my preference is definitely pecans.
KETO LOW CARB CARAMEL
Making a quick homemade low carb caramel sauce is the key to many fabulous desserts, like my Samoa pie and my Salted Caramel Snickerdoodle Cookies.
It's a fairly quick and easy recipe too. You just need a few specific ingredients to get that traditional caramel sauce stickiness we're looking for.
Even if you don't consider yourself much of a baker, you can easily make these nut clusters! Adding these butterscotch clusters to your dessert tray, are well worth your time!
