The Best Low Carb Candied Nuts
There’s something so craveable about keto candied nuts with bacon. The sweetness of the caramelized nuts combined with the flavor of the salty bacon, are a match made in heaven.
How to Make Keto Candied Nuts
There are many different variations for making candied nut recipes. Some involve boiling water, sugar, and cinnamon together to make a syrup and then tossing the nuts in the syrup and then letting them harden. Other methods like this one involve using whipped egg whites and sugar to make a candy-like shell when roasted. This is my favorite method. I love the texture it creates. These low carb candied nuts make for the perfect snack, or even a sweet treat after dinner.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Storage: Store leftover candied nuts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Spice it up: Use cayenne pepper, cinnamon, cumin, or any combination of the three in place of the paprika
- Make a chocolate version: Add some unsweetened cocoa powder and a little more erythritol for a chocolate variation
- Mix up the nuts: Use any combination of your favorite low carb nuts. Some of my favorites are almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts, cashews, and pistachios.
- Make keto trail mix: Toss in some sugar free chocolate chips and unsweetened coconut flakes to make a sweet and savory trail mix
- Use them as a topping: These are delicious on top of a low carb salad, or crushed up and sprinkled on top of low carb ice cream.

Looks wonderful and I'm anxious to try them. How long will these keep (especially with the bacon)?? Do they need to be refrigerated after they are made?
