These Keto Caramel Pecans are a savory snack to eat without the guilt when you want something sweet and crunchy!

How to Make Keto Caramel Pecans
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until combined. Add vanilla extract and combine. You can cook it for up to 7 minutes but I did this recipe at about 2 minutes as I wanted a thicker coating.
Remove from heat and add in pecans. Make sure to coat them well. Put your coated pecans on a sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the fridge for 2 hours to cool completely.
Once cooled, break apart and enjoy!

Hello I was thinking about making this recipe I was wondering if you can substitute the brown swerve for a different Brown sugar substitute. I have Brown stevia. Thank you!
