In reply to James Crippen. Hello James, it sounds like you may have overcooked the brittle. Try lowering the temperature.

I love making brittles.Im 84 years old and am excited about this one .Couple of questions though. I love the color in your pictures but then you say cook to a dark brown. Ok now I have made it I think it turned out pretty good but had a dark color also it broke up with little effort , didn’t form a good crack, I cooked it up to around 340. IM NOT GIVING UP. HELP. THANKS

I made this for a Christmas party and people who weren’t eating keto loved it and came back for seconds! Thank you so much!

In reply to Diana.

My dad had a microwave peanut brittle recipe that I’m planning to adapt to Swerve and sugar-free honey (to replace the white Karo in the original). It calls for baking soda, which makes the candy foam up a bit before it cools, which makes it not quite so much like peanut Jolly Ranchers – it’s softer, and less likely to glue your teeth together.

In reply to Trisha. Hi Trish, thank you for your comments and tips. We might try monk fruit next time.

I made this using olive oil butter since my husband is dairy-free and monk fruit sweetener instead of swerve. It turned out great. My only input is if you are using a black pan to make the sauce then be weary it will look like it’s dark brown because of the color of the pot before it actually turns brown.

I cannot wait to try this, as I am addicted to sugar-laden toffee peanuts. I am going to use an erythritol and stevia mix I make myself and keep on hand instead of the Swerve. I hope it turns out well!

In reply to Lisa M.. Hi Lisa, The problems you have are caused by swapping a granulated sweetener for a liquid one. Liquid and granulated are not interchangeable in a lot of recipes, and this is one of them. I hope you try it again with a granulated sweetener, I'm sure it will turn out perfectly!

Almost followed this recipe but only had liquid Stevie handy. Took advice not to undercook. Mine seemed watery and after letting it set up over an hour the color was no translucent but cloudy. Where did I messed up?

I tried another recipe, wasting 3 sticks of butter, and then found this. YAY! Your recipe worked great! I was careful not to get it to the “ghee” stage, where the dark dust forms on the bottom of the pan. EXCELLENT!

In reply to Neeta. Hi Neeta, You sure can! Just make sure they are nicely roasted first and add a pinch of salt to the caramel.

Hiya really would like to make this. Could I use mixed keto friendly nuts such as almond pecan pistachios and macadamian?

In reply to Ravi. Hi Ravi, The 1g of carbs is actually 1g of erythritol. Swerve is zero carbs as erythritol is a sugar alcohol and subtracted from the total carb count.

By: Ravi

Ravi — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 02:00:46 +0000

Swerve has 1gram of carbs per gram, and 3oz of swerve is 85grams so 85 carbs..
Divide that into 4 servings as you’ve suggested, means that component alone is 21carbs per serving? Am I missing something here?
