According to the Cronometer app, one Cadbury Caramel Easter egg has 22 grams ofnet carbs, no fiber and 170 calories. That amount of carbs is the what most people on aketo diethave for the whole day so this is definitely a no go when you want asweet treat.

SugarFree SweetenerOptions
Theketo sweeteneryou decide to use makes a difference in a smooth caramel texture. Anylow carb sweetenerthat includes erythritol or othersugar alcohols, will tend to crystalize once refrigerated.
I've chosen to use a blend ofMonk fruitand Allulose to achieve the creamychewy caramelwithout crystallization or hardening in the fridge.
I think you could use just granular Allulose for the caramel and it will result in a soft caramel that doesn't crystalize. I would be cautious using a Monk fruit sweetener that adds in erythritol as it could crystallize.
Here are two studies on the benefits of Allulose. Replacing Sugar with Allulose by Peter Attia and this article by Dr. Perlmutter.
I've not tested the caramel using just liquid stevia or liquid monk fruit.
Here's my to decide how much of another low carb sweetener you should use.

Easter Silicone Egg Mold these are large sized Easter egg molds. 2.75 inch in length by 2 inch in width.

Drop the frozen caramel into the chocolate and press down so the chocolate encases the caramel.
