Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Melt the Butter: In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add Sweetener and Salt: Once the butter is melted, add the erythritol and salt. Stir continuously to combine.
- Cook the Mixture: Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently. The mixture will begin to bubble and turn golden brown. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Vanilla and Cream: Once the mixture reaches a deep golden color, remove it from the heat. Carefully stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Be cautious, as the mixture may bubble up.
- Pour and Cool: Pour the hot butterscotch mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly with a spatula. Allow the candy to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until it hardens.
- Break into Pieces: Once the candy is hard, break it into pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Tips:
- Temperature: Use a candy thermometer if you have one. The butterscotch mixture should reach about 300°F (hard crack stage) for the best texture.
- Sweetener: Erythritol tends to recrystallize, so the texture may be slightly gritty. If this bothers you, you can try a blend of erythritol and another keto sweetener like allulose or monk fruit sweetener.
- Flavor: For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of butter extract.
Enjoy your keto-friendly butterscotch candy!
