Can I use other nuts or mix-ins?

Absolutely! Pecans or almonds work well too. You can also swap pretzels with crushed potato chips for a wild sweet-salty twist.

How should I store these candies?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If your house is warm, you can refrigerate them, but they’re best eaten at room temp for that soft caramel texture.

Can I use milk chocolate or dark chocolate instead?

You bet! Feel free to adjust the chocolate type based on your preferences. Dark chocolate makes these candies a little richer, while milk chocolate adds extra sweetness.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! You can swap the heavy cream for coconut cream and the butter for coconut oil to keep things dairy-free and keto-friendly.

What’s the best way to reheat this if it hardens in the crockpot?

Just add a splash more cream or coconut oil and turn the crockpot on low for a few minutes to soften it up again.

Can I use other sugar substitutes?

Absolutely. Just make sure whatever you use is granulated or powdered and keto-approved. Liquid sweeteners might change the texture a bit, so stick with monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose for best results.

How do I keep my chocolate from seizing up?

This is where patience and low heat come in handy. Don’t rush it! If it seizes, you can try adding a small bit of coconut oil to help smooth it out.

Instructions

Prep the Crockpot: Set the crockpot on low heat and prepare to layer the ingredients without mixing initially.
Melt Chocolate and Fats: Add the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil or butter to the crockpot. Let it melt for about 15-20 minutes, then give it a quick stir to combine.
Add Heavy Cream and Caramel Syrup: Pour in the heavy cream and sugar-free caramel syrup. Stir gently to mix, and add vanilla extract if using.
Add Nuts: Fold in the chopped pecans or almonds to give the candy its crunchy texture.
Cook Slowly: Cover and cook on low for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes to ensure smooth melting and avoid sticking.
Finish with Sea Salt: When the mixture is thick and fully melted, turn off the crockpot. Sprinkle in sea salt flakes without stirring completely, letting the salt sit on top.
Shape and Chill: Spoon out the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in tablespoon-sized portions. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until set.

Notes

Chocolate Quality: Using high-quality, sugar-free chocolate makes a big difference in flavor and texture.
Sweetness Level: If you prefer sweeter candy, add a small amount of powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener.
Storage: Store candies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
Dietary Adjustments: For dairy-free, use coconut cream in place of heavy cream and replace butter with coconut oil.
