While I was creating the chocolate pecan pie bars recipe, finding a way to make a gooey, low carb filling was paramount to me. Let’s face it, our low carb sweeteners just don’t behave the way sugar does. And part of what makes traditional pecan pie bars so gooey is the corn syrup. It’s tricky to emulate that. But by creating a caramel sauce with Swerve and using that in place of the corn syrup, you get a rich deep flavour and a gooier texture that is a lot like the real thing.
