Sweet Pork Rinds

[bellablue]

I didn't see this idea anywhere so I'm starting a new thread. I was alerted to this great snack last night by a low carbbing email pal and tried it. So I am passing it on:

"Sweet Little Piggies"

pork rinds--I used a half a bag in a mixing bowl
1/2 cube butter, melted
mixture of 4 packets Splenda and cinnamon

Pour the butter over the rinds, mix well, then spinkle on the cinnamon-Splenda and mix well. These taste a little like cinnamon sugar elephant ears or the deep fried dough covered in cinnamon-sugar that I used to eat South of The Border! Very good!!!!!!

Bella :idea: :wave:

there are variations of this one out here... search with CINNAMON and possibly CRISPAS...

Good ideas just keep recreating themselves :lol:

mmmmmmmm, i loooooove pork rinds. these sound like a version of those cinnamon twists you get at taco bell. i think this week im gonna try them :)

[bellablue]

Bingo!! :daze: I knew they reminded me of something, Moonmist! Exactly, the cinnamon twists at taco bell!!!! If anyone in the US has a store called OddLots in your town (used to be called Pic and Save, as they are kind of a factory closeout type store), they have huge bags of the tiny pork rinds for 99 cents a bag! Perfect for sweet piggies!!~~~bella

These are simply wonderful!!! Would these be "legal" on induction?

Just a quick note,,, do you know,, those cinnamon twists from Taco Bell are really deep fried pasta!

Had a friend that worked at a Taco Bell,,, just some high carb trivia to pass along!

I think Pork Rinds would be okay on induction...only if you eat them once in awhile. I've been on induction for about 2 and a half weeks, and I think I had them 2x.

I have a question on the pork rinds. Are they salted? That's the only kind I've been able to find. Thanks, Tc

I wrote in a post in another thread that I have been craving cinnamon rolls with icing so badly that if I could find a low carb recipe for the icing I'd eat it on pork rinds.

I was kidding.

But now after reading, and trying, these I am thinking that low carb icing might go great with them!!! ;) Any ideas????

[Ajastoy]

I use butter and Splenda,,,make my own buttercream! You can make a chocolate one too by adding some cocoa powder.

Today I made these with less cinnamon and more splenda. I liked them much better. They reminded me of butter cookies. :D

I also was thinking that they might be good with some of the sugar free DiVinci's syrups added in to the butter. I'll have to experiment and let you know.

[cre8tivgrl]

Okay, I tried something different with this recipe...

I took the hot and spicy pork rinds and mixed them with plain melted butter. They were good!! :thup: Reminded me of buttered popcorn with tabasco.
