KETO / LOW CARB PECAN TOFFEE CRUNCH

Please See Other Recipes

Keto / Low Carb Pecan Toffee Crunch…yep, you heard me right!  If there is one thing I have a hard time resisting it’s buttery, crunchy toffee.  Do not judge.  I know what you’re thinking…a sweet pork rind…YES!!  When you take an inconspicuous pork rind and coat it in sugar free toffee and pecans, you have a crunchy snack that is somewhere between toffee popcorn and these amazing candied corn nuggets that I used to go crazy over….in one word AMAZING!  If you are a toffee lover like me…prepare yourself!

Pork rinds are my new obsession or at least inspiration!  You should see the looks I get when I buy them by the case, but they are great for a crunchy, salty low carb snack…or even sometimes a making sweet one!!  Guys, if you are counting the pork rind as something that can only be savory…you are missing out!  Yes… they are savory, but they are pretty much neutral in the flavor department.  They have a little bit of salty taste that just matches perfectly with sweet!


After creating my irresistible Low Carb Muddy Buddies or Puppy Chow with pork rinds…I realized the possibilities are pretty much endless.  I began dreaming about all the crunchy, sweet coated treats I loved in the past and one of the first things that came to mind was toffee crunch popcorn and these little toffee coated corn nuggets that we used to snack on when the Cowboy and the girls and I were on a road trip.  The texture of the pork rind really reminded me of the crunch and texture of the corn nugget…so off the kitchen I went to create a low carb / keto version to satisfy my obsession with buttery toffee!   These beauties were the result…Keto / Low Carb Pecan Toffee Crunch!
