Sugar Free Candied Nuts
Candied Nuts are one of my all-time favorite low carb, sugar free snacks. These little beauties make a great addition to loads of great dishes, or just to scoff on their own.
There are loads of recipes out there for this, so what makes mine any different, well, its in the title, sugar free. Now you may ask how this is possible as the act of candying inherently requires sugar, and yes, you would be correct. However, due to modern nutritional techno boffins we are able to cheat a little here.
Enter in Erythritol
This stuff is a game changer, I’m sure I’m not the first or the last to spout the advantages of this stuff so I’ll keep it short. Erythritol is an alcohol sugar, this doesn’t mean your gunna get drunk, or that it contains any alcohol, its just derived from alcohol. It also ha the added bonus of being almost carb free… YES CARB FREE! I had to see it to believe it myself, but its true. Its a little less sweet that normal sugar at only 70% sweetness, however, it does caramelize like normal sugar does which is why it works in this recipe (I bet you were wondering when I would bring this back to nuts 😄)
The recipe is super simple, you can mix it up and add what you like but the basics will always be similar to this. So have a go and see what you come up with. Feel free to comment and dont forget to subscibe for more great recipes!
Enjoy!
