These low carb and Keto pecan pie bars are pure ooey-gooey goodness. And each bar has just 2g net carbs.
Greetings!
I just had the most delightful coffee break. I had a cup of joe and one of these yummy Keto pecan pie bars. It was such a treat. And while I was enjoying my snack, I found this great old film clip. (video below) It's from a 1936 film where Ruby Keeler tap dances through a gigantic typewriter.
Pretty kicky, right?
But enough about Depression-era musical numbers. Let's talk low carb pecan pie bars. These little beauties are based on a great recipe for Magic Bars that I found on Cast Iron Keto. His magic bars have all the bells and whistles. They've got coconut flakes, pecans and chocolate chips, all in a super sweet caramel sauce.
These bars truly are magic.
And my pared-back pecan pie version of the bar is pretty darn tasty too. The filling is made up of chopped pecans in a caramel maple sauce. That's some ooey-gooey deliciousness right there. And each bar has just a measly 2g net carbs. Nearly nothing.
So, in closing, these bars are the perfect thing to nosh on while watching people tap dance through gigantic typewriters.

I am not sure how you got 2 net carbs per serving. I did this exactly as listed and put all numbers in my app according to exact numbers on the packages and got 21 carbs and 4 fiber. Net carbs of 17 per bar (8 servings)

It sounds like you included the carb amount from the Swerve in your calculation. Your body can’t digest it, so you don’t factor them into your carb count. Swerve is a sugar alcohol so the net carbs are zero.
