    Keto Caramel Popcorn

    Jump to Recipe

    Keto Caramel Popcorn is a tasty mix of nuts and caramel with only 2g net carbs per serving. It's sure to sooth your cravings for Crunch'n Munch.

    Low Carb Keto Crunch'n Munch

    I've really been missing caramel popcorn on this low carb diet of mine.

    Like the kettle corn that you get at the fair.  Or even good old Crunch'n Munch.

    a bowl of Keto Caramel Popcorn

    I still have this Crunch'n Munch commercial from the 1980's kicking around in my subconscious.  (video above)

    It's this annoying kid in overalls who is bellyaching about everybody stealing his precious Crunch'n Munch.  This kid is just as whiney about caramel corn as I am, now that I think about it. All I lack is the overalls and the bowl cut.

    What's in Crunch'n Munch?

    It's just caramel corn and peanuts but it's oh so delicious. It's the perfect blend of salty and sweet. Each serving has 24g of carbohydrate though, so if you eat it you can kiss your low carb diet goodbye.

    Well no more sulking.

    Today I came up with a Keto Caramel Popcorn recipe for the next time I'm feeling the need for Crunch'n Munch. 

    Instead of popcorn, it's got healthy pecans, walnuts, almonds and coconut flakes.  And it's covered in a delicious sugar free caramel coating.  It's really good.

    How do you make Sugar Free Caramel Popcorn?

    First, you roast pecans, walnuts, almonds and coconut flakes in a 350 degree F oven for 5 minutes. In a medium sized sauce pan, you combine erythritol sweetener, sugar free pancake syrup, heavy whipping cream and butter and cook the mixture over medium heat until it turns a deep golden brown. You add in butter, cinnamon, salt and vanilla and stir well to melt and combine. Pour the roasted nuts and coconut mixture into the pan and stir until well coated. Then spread the mixture back onto the cookie sheet and sprinkle salt on top.  Separate the pieces into clumps. Bake them for 12-15 more minutes. Then allow it to cool and dry out on the counter.

    And you are done. You'll have a batch of Keto Caramel Popcorn with just 2g net carbs per serving.

    Ok, time for me to don my overalls and get back to crunch'n and munch'n. 

    Chow!

        I just use the sugar-free pancake syrup that you find with the other pancake syrups. I use this generic brand called "Essentials".

        So glad you want to try it! I'm sorry that I don't have a print button available. The best way to get a paper copy is to cut and paste the recipe into a text document and print that out. I've listed a simple to copy version of the recipe below. Sorry for the hassle!
