Keto Pecan Pie Clusters

These Keto Pecan Pie Clusters are a great, easy to make treat for satisfying any low carb sweet tooth!

What I really love about this recipe is that it derived from, in the words of everyone’s favorite television painter, Bob Ross, “a happy accident.”

I was trying to make a keto-friendly version of caramel turtles, but just couldn’t get the caramel right.

Three different recipes, and each one was more of a flop than the last.

I figured I might as well try to assemble something anyway, so I did, finished them up…tasted one, and accepted my failure.

When my husband got home from work he noticed them on the counter and inquired. I warned him not to try them…but thankfully he didn’t listen.

He took one bite and said…”These aren’t bad!”

Five minutes later he had finished the entire tray and said with his mouth full “These are delicious. They taste like the stuff that’s in a pecan pie.”

He was right! And after a few more recipe tweaks, today’s post was born….
