Salted Caramel Pork Rind Cereal

  • 1 oz pork rinds
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp erythritol
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  1. Measure out 1 oz of pork rinds. I’m using Utz Pork Rinds.
  2. Break your pork rinds up into smaller pieces.
  3. On medium heat, add 2 Tbsp butter into a pan.
  4. In a ramekin, measure out 2 Tbsp heavy cream and 1 Tbsp erythritol.
  5. Continue to let the butter cook until browned.
  6. Once your butter is browned, remove the pan from the heat and add the heavy cream and erythritol.
  7. Return it to the heat, and continue stirring until a caramel has formed.
  8. Add the cinnamon and quickly mix it into the caramel.
  9. Once the caramel has formed and the mixture has cooked down a little bit, add your pork rinds.
  10. Coat the pork rinds in the caramel sauce, making sure each pork rinds gets some caramel.
  11. Transfer the caramel coated pork rinds onto a plate and cool in the fridge for 20-40 minutes, so that the caramel can harden.
  12. Remove the pork rinds from the fridge once the caramel has hardened.
  13. Pour your “milk” over the pork rinds and enjoy!  (Or eat them like caramel popcorn.  Seriously!)
