Keto Peanut Brittle

[@EmunahFL]

This looks delicious and easy! I can't wait to make it! 😊

[@cupcakegirl1979]

Hope you like it! It truly is so good!! 😊

[@pegz.3959]

This looks yummy! The sweetner "blends" are mostly erythritol which is a sugar alcohol. I know many, many Keto folks use them but sugar alcohols are really not the best for you. I am going to try this with Allulose which should work great and is not a sugar alcohol. Allulose is about 3/4 the sweetness of sugar so you may want to add 1/4 more for the same sweetness. Thanks for the recipe!

[@cupcakegirl1979]

Yes, definitely use what works best for you. I use mostly monk fruit sweetener these days. Erythritol tends to upset my stomach (likely the sugar alcohols) but monk fruit is my sweetener of choice. I’ll have to give Allulose a try too! It’s been forever since I’ve had that. Hope you enjoy the recipe! If you make it and feel so inclined to do so, let me know how it turns out! Would love to hear. Thanks for your support 🤗

​@cupcakegirl1979 That packet is a 'monk fruit blend'. What is it blended with and how much of it is actually monkfruit?

[@eclexian]

The big advantage to allulose is that it actually caramelizes, which erythritol and most other sugar alcohols do not do. (I believe maltitol is an exception to that, but maltitol causes a lot of ‘tummy rumbling’ and trots for me and other folks I know.) So I will try this with allulose.

@@cassieoz1702I no longer have that particular kind to know for sure, so sorry, but I do know they make some brands out there that are all monk fruit, which would be much better ☺️

[@cupcakegirl1979]

@@eclexianyou are completely correct on that! I will have to try this with Allulose! Maltitol kills my stomach, it will send you straight to the bathroom, lol! I have to use erythritol in small doses also as it can have that effect also 😬😬

@@cupcakegirl1979 I have diabetes, and I love peanut brittle. Thanks again.

[@Vancity-2000]

nice and simple recipe, my favorite is dark chocolate version!

[@cupcakegirl1979]

Thank you! I will definitely have to try that out! ☺️

This is fantastic! I love sweet & salty peanut brittle! I just subscribed! Your dog squeaking his toy sounds identical to my puppydog ...often when I'm on the phone🤦🏼‍♀🤦🏼‍♀🤣🤣

[@cupcakegirl1979]

Awww, so glad you enjoyed! I haven’t made this one in awhile but I’ll have to make it again soon because it sounds so good right now. Love my doggie! Seems like every time I start a video, he’s there and making his presence known, Lol. Thanks for your support 🤗😍

[@JohannaRose85]

Omg I'm so early lol! Just finished a night feed with my son, it's 3:15am, he's gone back down in his cot to sleep and I'm going to stay up and watch as this is going to save my diet lol! I just said to my husband last night that I need to get rid of the peanut butter in our cupboard because I'm addicted to it, it's ruining me getting back on keto. I've got no willpower lol! I'm going to buy all these ingredients and make my own brittle to keep me on track! X

[@cupcakegirl1979]

Yay!!! Lol! You are the absolute sweetest! What a precious thing to nurse your baby. I’m glad I could post so you could catch it after the night feed! Definitely loved this recipe! One great thing is that it’s pretty rich in taste so it doesn’t take much to satisfy your craving! I’ve been sneaking a couple pieces every night after dinner since I made it, lol! Oh, and peanut butter is my weakness too, lol. I’ve made a really good Reese cup alternative that is keto, I’ll have to share that on my channel sometime ☺️ xoxo

[@KetoCookbooksCorner]

*Yummy* 🤤

[@goransvraka3171]

Can I use honey instead of sugar?

[@cupcakegirl1979]

You could certainly give it a go! I’ve not tried it before, to be honest, I’m not sure if it would set up the same as with sugar, it may be a bit more gooey. But if you try it, let me know how it works out for you. That would be a lovely replacement. ☺️

[@toneymc2674]

I've made keto peanut brittle a couple of times and they are never really hard and snap when you break it and I would imagine this recipe isn't either .. right?

[@cupcakegirl1979]

It snaps some, more so than with other keto recipes I’ve tried, but I’d be lying to say it’s exactly like regular peanut brittle. It’s very tasty though. Def cures the craving for peanut brittle! ☺️

[@jamespersson9788]

Can you do pecans also instead of peanuts

[@cupcakegirl1979]

Hi…absolutely you can! As a matter of fact I think that would taste even better than the peanuts!!

[@barbkolb1154]

Looks tasty but looks like a soft brittle

[@cupcakegirl1979]

Yes, definitely not as hard as your typical brittle would be, but still very tasty ☺️

[@irmasmith9066]

What size pan did you use?

[@cupcakegirl1979]

It was a 9 x 13 sheet pan ☺️

[@eldapucci3306]

Why can't you mix the peanuts in butter mixture then spread

[@cupcakegirl1979]

You can certainly do it that way also!! No rules, however you prefer to do it, it would turn out fine that way also ☺️

[@destinyw8318]

It means peanuts are not keto, can you tell me the macros on this recipe?

[@cupcakegirl1979]

Well technically most will say that peanuts are not keto because they are in the legume family but they are still a very good choice for keto/low carb and very easily available. Macros are 16 servings for what I made (I doubled mine), 4 net carbs per serving, 1 fiber, and 185 calories per serving...hope that helps some.
