Keto Macadamia Nut Brittle

I’ve been on a keto diet for about a month now and with keto comes cravings for sweets, at least that’s the case for me anyways. Recently I made this Keto Macadamia Nut Brittle recipe and this has been a craving-saver! I kept these in the fridge and had a small piece whenever I had a craving for sweets. Totally does the trick.

Believe it out not, this recipe is basically destined to be refined sugar-free. You see, it is actually easier to make this with Swerve than with sugar because the Swerve Confectioners does not crystalize like sugar. Swerve is a cup-for-cup sugar replacement that is zero calorie and non-glycemic, and it’s keto-friendly.

This delicious nut brittle is a great treat when you’re craving something sweet, like cookies or candies!
