Health benefits of Butter Pecan Brittle

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

1 cup maltitol crystals sweetener
1 1/2 cups chopped pecan nuts
8 sticks sweet cream butter

Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large, non-stick fry pan.

2. Add the Maltitol sweetener and heat on medium, stirring until it is blended and golden.

3. The mixture will separate and then blend together again. Give it time for the color to darken, but don’t over cook.

4. Remove pan from heat and sprinkle nuts on the top.

5. Allow to cool. Cover and let set up. If you are in a hurry, hasten the cooling by setting the pan in a larger pan of ice.

6. Cover and let set up. When the brittle is cooled, break it into pieces.

7. Variations: add 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut. If you use walnuts instead of pecans you can deduct all the carbs. 1 cup of peanuts makes it peanut brittle.
