Keto Caramel Pecan Turtles

These pecans are held together with a homemade keto caramel sauce and topped with melted dark chocolate and a sprinkling of flaked sea salt. Be sure to buy the brown sugar version of erythritol as it is key to making the “caramel” flavor.

    Made this yesterday. They were very good but a little messy. Second batch I put in my mini muffin pan and it kept everything close together and it turned out perfect! Great recipe! Thank you!!

    Great treat. Couple nonKeto guys tried them and they were double thumbs up. Toasted the pecans first. Made a 2 batches; ChocZero white chocolate & milk chocolate. Be careful warming the chips. Over warming will cause them to clump then ingredients will separate.

      This was very good. My husband and toddler love them. The only thing I don't like the mint feeling after you eat them. Will make again.
