Wow, sugar-free toffee. Nothing available like this 45 years ago. I have had Type 1 Diabetes since 1962. Thank you for sharing.

[@dolivier5994]

Thank you for taking time to teach us new ways and recipes to live the keto life.I enjoy watching you both,and have learned so much.I admire the way you handle ugly comments.

[@cjsketokitchen]

What a wonderful comment. Thank you so much! Yes, as our channel grows so do the unfortunate comments 😩 Sometimes we just have to delete them. We appreciate your support of our channel. Have a great weekend 😊💓

[@rickhodgkins6937]

Hi CJ. Instead of using almonds, I would use peanuts, just because I’m so used to peanut brittle. Second, next time you make your almond brittle, I would use a teaspoon of baking soda to make it all nice and shiny as someone suggested, when I showed your video to them. Second, I would melt the butter first before adding your swerve and then your nuts. The question I have, is how long does it take to cook everything? Thanks.

[@tjmort26]

This was amazzzing!!!!! I used monk fruit for the sweetener. Worked real good. 👍.

[@cjsketokitchen]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing 😍

[@cheriepanter9333]

Well Done CJ!

[@cjsketokitchen]

Thanks Cherie, that was a really old video👍🏽

[@johnmunch1]

Can you also just use Stevia for the sugar instead of the swerve? Thank you!

[@cathycutler7996]

You can buy Swerve at Whole Foods Market. You said you were doubling the recipe and 1/4 cup X 2 isn’t 3/3. But, it seemed to work out fine.

[@jartotable]

Ooh. Just found it. Brilliant.x

[@26Ekko]

A few notes meant constructively and not in a mean spirited way: 1. That was an entire "half-stick" of butter. Many manufacturers now sell packages of 8 "Half sticks" which is considered 4 tbsp. A whole stick is 8 tbsp. Make sure you know which you are using so you don't throw off the recipe. 2. Spend the extra $$ for real vanilla extract. 3. Please don't use metal knives in Non stick coated pans. 4. I'd recommend cooling the mixture on a cookie sheet so you can spread it out and make it a little thinner so it's easier to eat. 5. Watch a video on how to make regular brittle prior to attempting this so you'll know what to look for in the cooking process. Otherwise, thanks for the video!!

[@cjsketokitchen]

26Ekko thanks for the constructive feedback, great tips 👍🏽

[@sassyandsmartassydoe922]

Maybe you should start your own cooking channel 🙄

[@chloe5susan]

Usually they have you add the vanilla after taking it off the heat. 😉. Good video 🥰

[@SOMD-THC]

When i saw he the vanilla bottle i had to rewind and pause. lol Will make this but with real vanilla extract. Have you ever tried vanilla powder? it is amazing and you get the speckles of the beans in your food. thanks for sharing!

[@jeaninelorigan4961]

Any health food stores carry swerve as well as Meijer’s and Krogers

[@sierra9743]

Just made this recipe. Came out great!!! But how do you not eat it all in one sitting? Thanks CJ for another great recipe!!

[@cjsketokitchen]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL 😂 Right?! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 😁💓

[@debbiel2098]

What? I have never seen a Brittle recipe that didn't call for Baking Soda...That's what makes it light and crispy and not stick to your teeth. Also, I didn't see this mixture brought up to 300° Hard Crack stage before spreading out. (*!*) This would be an awesome Keto Candy if prepared correctly.

[@cjsketokitchen]

+Debbie L Debbie feel free to prepare it anyway you’d like. The recipe is a guide, if you’ve got ideas to make it better go for it.

[@charlesledbetter1912]

CJ cooking. Alright

[@cjsketokitchen]

Yep 👍🏼 it was his channel before I joined❤️

[@thefunny3589]

I think 2 cups of slivered almonds would of perfect with this recipe.

[@pamelalarcom4393]

Could you substitute Swerve with Splenda and have it come out ok?

[@cjsketokitchen]

It probably will work however the ratios may be a bit different. Splenda may be a bit sweeter than the Erythritol/Swerve. Sometimes on the directions for the sweetener it will tell you that one cup of this is equal to one cup or a 1/2 a cup of say sugar (this is only an example). Sorry I can’t give you a definition answer it’s just that I really don’t know. Please let us know how it turns out with the Splenda. Happy New Year and if you haven’t subscribed please do. We love talking about keto and low carb!

[@juliebergacker5680]

Great! And yum😋😋👏👍😁💕

[@shirleygrice2538]

Looks great! For other recipes that call for heavy cream, what can I use that is lactose free?

[@cjsketokitchen]

I have no experience working with anything but heavy cream in my recipes. You could try coconut cream(not milk).

[@IndyPop24]

Are we supposed to start with a filthy pan? Adds to the flavor?

[@cjsketokitchen]

+IndyPop24 Well the Pan was filthy because I’d just made a batch in the same pan. But the recipe is delicious.

[@lynnries7729]

Then why did you say at the very beginning that you had NEVER made this before? Better to be honest.

[@RStandish1980]

@@lynnries7729 he literally said in the video it was his second attempt because the first time it had too many sliced almonds, so he reduced it down to half a cup. I took that to mean before the day he filmed he'd never made it before.🤔🤨

[@chloe5susan]

Ok really?? Mother said, “If you can’t say anything nice, say Nothing at all” 🥰

[@dolivier5994]

Lynn Ries ....you are stupid and mean to say ugly things to people who are teaching you ,sad you are a miserable unhappy person!

[@Shayb200]

Wal-Mart carry Swerve.

[@cjsketokitchen]

Yes, I just noticed that the other day! Yay!

[@loinslove5853]

Can I use Splenda?

[@cjsketokitchen]

Yes, that should work

[@hbako8197]

hi can i used stevia instead of swerve?

[@cjsketokitchen]

HB ako You can certainly use stevia, if you prefer that as your sweetener of choice, stevia can occasionally become bitter when heated, but if you’re already familiar with that, it should be fine.

[@1sa45]

Are you able to do 1/4 swerve and 1/4 stevia? Pure swerve is a lot for me

[@cjsketokitchen]

Sure 👍🏻

[@Stahlmaks]

Yum!! Curious if you or any of your followers know how to slice the almonds themselves? Would a food processor work? Mandolin? Just curious. I buy my almonds whole and raw. TIA 😊

[@cjsketokitchen]

Hi Maryann.... hopefully someone else knows… Here you can buy them already cut that way.😌

[@Stahlmaks]

@@cjsketokitchen yes, I know they can be purchased already sliced. I’m just trying to keep cost down 😄 it’s also why I purchase raw nuts instead of roasted. Less expensive!

[@groovyhippiechick]

Walmart sells Swerve!

[@cjsketokitchen]

Yes! They did not 4 years ago when this video was made. Yay for progress of keto!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@groovyhippiechick]

CJsKetoKitchen.com LoL! I didn’t even look to see when this was uploaded? 🥴

[@susiefrost6388]

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@kathyharvey6680]

Hi can I use erythritol

[@cjsketokitchen]

+Kathy Harvey yes. That’s what I used. Swerve is just a brand name, but it’s just erythritol.

[@schkjdlaksjdfh]

Does it work without Butter? Can i use nut Butter instead? 🤩❤️

[@cjsketokitchen]

+Lulu Girl unfortunately we do not know the answer, because we’ve never attempted to make it with “nut butter.” it seems like it should work if nut butters reacte similar to butter. Try it and let us know.

[@FaithAndJustice1]

Hey...what's up??? This is a huge departure from your usual very clean very professional presentations ??? Sorry but...

[@cjsketokitchen]

+Deb Greenwell Everyone starts somewhere. We aren’t professionals just people who live keto and talk about it. I believe this video was from two years ago.

[@christianahancox2218]

Initially you said you had never made it before, than you commented you had tried it before. You have guesstimated pretty much all the ingredients - saying the recipe calls for this, but I'm doing that. Really not helpful as proportions are important. Not something I will be attempting with your instructions.

[@cjsketokitchen]
