Crunchy Sweet Keto Snack (and only 1 NET CARB). We’ve created the perfect low-carb KETO snack. Now you can get all the crunchy-sweet taste you crave with NO ADDED SUGAR!
We start with one of the most “Keto friendly” nuts around – pecans. Organic, Texas pecans at that! Then, we wrap them with a crispy, crunchy glaze. Except, unlike the typical glaze found in other crunchy nuts, ours isn’t loaded with sugar! Instead we use healthy chicory root fiber for added fiber and a touch of prebiotic sweetness that won’t affect your blood sugar. And, we combine it with grass-fed ghee that’s loaded with healthy omegas and Vit K2.
