Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Candied Nuts
Warning: they are addictive!
Ingredients 1/4 cup butter, cubed 1/4 cup erythritol* 4-5 drops ez sweets or equivalent sweetener 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups pecan halves (or walnuts, almonds, etc.) Directions In a large heavy skillet, melt butter. Add erythritol*; cook and stir over medium-high heat until erythritol is dissolved. Continue cooking as it foams and froths until mixture turns an amber color, about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in pie spice and vanilla; add pecans. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes longer or until pecans are toasted. Spread onto foil to cool. *you might be able to sub xylitol, but the erythritol acts like sugar and goes through the toffee-like stage when cooked with the butter, and really puts a candy coating on the nuts. I wouldn't recommend using only splenda or stevia, etc. pecans.jpg |

This sounds like I should run right to the kitchen and make it!
Did you use granular or powdered E?

Thanks, Speck, I have a lot of that on hand!
Gotta go see what I have for nuts - I KNOW I have some raw cashews and some raw hazelnuts....

This sounds great. Do the pecans become toasted enough in the skillet? I love pecans that are toasted and usually toast before adding to most recipes.

I can't say for sure, but they are nutty, flavorful and crunchy. I don't think it would hurt to pre-toast them if you want to make sure they are to your taste.

I just know I am going to make these. It is just a matter of when. I think I am low on one ingredient right now, will power. Just made the pumpkin pie cake, so I need to have only one treat around at a time. I may just do like some have suggested, cut it, then bag it up and then toss in the freezer. Thanks for sharing!

I made these yesterday right after I saw this post.....LOVE THEM.
I tend to pick up pecans and walnuts at the Dollar Store...and made the recipe with all pecans. (((I have dentures))) and REALLY appreciate a "softer" nut. They don't get SNEAKY and slip underneath my teeth ![]() |

My batch was a huge hit on the nibbler table before dinner and are all gone also. I lightly toasted my pecans first in the oven. My caramel looked separated so as the pecans were cooling, I tossed them with some granular Splenda, a pinch of salt and more cinnamon. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for developing a low carb treat version of this recipe!

I didn't get a chance to make this yet but I sure am going to as soon as I get some more nuts! I think pecan halves are what I want to use and don't have any on hand right now.
