Sugar Free Peanut Brittle
Sugar Free Peanut Brittle is a low-carb confection combining toasted salted peanuts with a caramelized sweetener and butter mixture. The snack hardens to a crunchy brittle that's sweet without traditional sugar, offering an alternative treat that stores well frozen and can be customized with different sweeteners for texture preference.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanuts salted, 140g, dry roasted
- ½ cup bocha sweet powder or allulose, 96g
- 2 tablespoon butter 28 grams
Instructions
- Melt the sweetener and the butter in a saucepan over a low heat.
- Let the mixture cook over medium-high heat until it is bubbling, foaming and turning a golden brown. Stir regularly so it does not burn.
- Take off the heat, add in the peanuts and stir. Then, pour onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and spread out in a single layer into a 7 x inch square.
- Place the sheet in the freezer and cool 15-30 minutes until fully set.
Notes
- This brittle contains about 2 grams of net carbs per square and yields 16 squares per batch.
- Store the brittle up to three months in the freezer to maintain freshness and texture.
- Using powdered erythritol instead of Bocha Sweet or allulose results in a harder but slightly grainy brittle that can be refrigerated instead of frozen.
- Replacing 2 tablespoons of the Bocha Sweet or allulose with powdered erythritol gives a firmer set suitable for fridge storage while keeping brittleness moderate at room temperature.
