Are Pecan Pralines like Keto Candied Pecans?
There is a difference for sure. Pralines are more delicate and you'll use heavy cream to make them creamier than candid pecans. Candied pecans usually use a brown sugar substitute and butter and are cooked stove top to create a somewhat crunchy coating.
Tips for Making the Perfect Pecan Praline Bark
What sweetener is best Keto Pralines?
Naturally you will want a sugar substitute that is Keto friendly. Swerve brand sweeteners is used in this recipe, but you can use Monk Fruit Granulated and Golden Monk Fruit if you prefer.
What Chocolate Should I use for Keto Pecan Bark?
If you are anything like most chocolate lovers, finding a sugar free brand that doesn't taste weird of leave that strange cooling effect like some sugar free chocolate has can be a challenge! Lily's and ChocZero have wonderful tasting Keto approved chocolate that's perfect for all your Keto baking needs or even or a low carb snack.
How do I Store Keto Praline Bark?
Granulated Swerve and Monk fruit have a tendency to crystalize somewhat when chilled so leave your Keto bark at room temp in an airtight container. Pecan praline bark is best when eaten within a couple of days.

Wow, thank you so much for this fantastic recipe! You are amazing! My husband and I loved this! I liked very much that it was an easy, quick recipe. I used butter. The cinnamon and nutmeg put it over the top, making it taste so good. Later, I sprinkled some kosher salt (medium large salt crystals), and it balanced the yummy sweetness, and for us it became even more delicious! God bless you for creating and sharing your excellent recipe!
Together in Christ,

I usually get the Lily’s chips and was wondering how many ounces of chocolate does the 12 squares equal?
Keto Cooking Christian
According to Lily's website, a bar is 2.8-3 ounces, and a bag of the chocolate chips is 9 ounces.
Wanda Wooten
My whole family loved this wonderful treat !!! Thank you so much for sharing !! By the way I used monk fruit sweetener, both regular and brown, worked great 👍
Keto Cooking Christian
You're so welcome and I'm glad you all enjoyed it. Great sub on the sweetener too 🙂
Lori
I am wondering if I can use an alternative for swerve.. like THM gentle sweet or super sweet and make my own brown sugar from those.
Keto Cooking Christian
I've not tried any others before, so I can't say for sure how it might turn out. I'd say any brown sugar alternative made from either erythritol, monk fruit, allulose or a blend of these should work well.

So, by my calculations, I can make this and if I absolutely lose control over myself and eat the whole batch it is only 8 net carbs? Not that I would, but.....
Keto Cooking Christian
Yes, it's one net carb per serving, with 8 servings total, and the bulk of the carbs are in the pecans. But really try not to eat the whole batch in one sitting! 😂
