The sweeteners used in the Werthers' are isomalt and acesulphame-K. These are low carb due to their low GI, but they're not clean keto. The carbs listed on the Werthers packet are mainly from polyols, so have not been counted when tracking the macros.
In the photo, we served this with the no-churn vanilla ice cream.

Directions
Original Version
Put the cream and butterscotch sweets into a nonstick saucepan.
Gently melt, whilst stirring constantly. This will thicken into a glossy thick sauce (this takes about 5 minutes)
Cleaner Version
Add all of the ingredients to a nonstick saucepan.
Gently heat, stirring to melt the butter. Allow it to bubble and reduce on a medium heat, stirring occasionally. You will notice the sauce get gradually thicker.
After 10-15 minutes, the sauce will have thickened quite a bit. Allow it to rest for a couple of minutes - it will start to separate slightly. Mix this back together to form a glossy sauce.
