Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the "brown sugar" erythritol and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.
Allow this mixture to thicken, stirring occasionally (6-8 minutes).
Note: if the heat is too high, the sauce will burn. Make sure that it is not too hot and stir as needed to prevent burning.
While the sauce is thickening, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once your keto candied pecans sauce has thickened, pour the pecan halves into the mixture and stir to evenly coat each pecan.
Once evenly coated, pour the keto candied pecans onto the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and place in the fridge.
Allow your keto candied pecans to completely cool and harden in the fridge (1-2 hours).
Keep these stored in an air-tight container.
