This is sooooo
easy. And sooooo good.
1 stick of butter (1/4 pound)
1 cup Maltitol Granulated (Whey Low Brown now recommended)
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
Melt the butter in a large, nonstick fry pan. Add the
Maltitol and heat on medium, stirring until it is blended
and golden. The mixture will separate and then blend together
again. Give it time for the color to darken, but don’t
over cook. Remove pan from heat and sprinkle nuts on the
top. Allow to cool. Cover and let set up. When the brittle
is cooled, break it into pieces.
Or if you are in a hurry, hasten the cooling by setting
the pan in a larger pan of ice. This is always my choice
because then we can eat it faster.
Total carbs = 12
24 servings (approx.)= 1/2 carb each
Variations: Add 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut. If you use
walnuts instead of pecans you can deduct all the carbs.
1 cup of peanuts makes it peanut brittle.
