                                                      Low Carb Creations Almond Brittle

If you love a sweet caramel taste that comes with a high-carb nut brittle, you're going to love the new Soft Nut Brittles from Low Carb Creations ! Unlike regular brittle that's... well... brittle, this candy is softer — more melt-in-your-mouth.

They come in three varieties — Soft Almond Brittle, Soft Hazelnut Brittle, and Soft Peanut Brittle. They all sit on a peanut butter base and are sweetened with Lycasin and Maltitol, then flavored with pure vanilla.

They are mid-range sweet and come in pre-cut squares that we found to be just the right portion. They label these as 3 net carbs per 2-square serving, but that discounts all the sugar alcohols. If you don't do that (we don't), we count these as 4 net carbs per square accounting for the polyols. Still, just the right sweet treat after a meal or when a craving hits.

Our favorites were definitely the Almond, but all three flavors were quite good! They're available from Netrition.
