This is one of my top 5 favorite things. Like the muddy buddies (http://ift.tt/2nppT03), this recipe uses pork rinds in place of the chex mix or popcorn. I know it sounds weird, especially if you're like me and do not like the taste of pork rinds - but it works. They soak up all the flavor of the butter and brown sugar, they stay crunchy with the baking process below, and as long as you ensure the mixture is coated well, you can't taste the pork rinds at all. My boyfriend thinks they taste just like Cracker Jacks, however I think they taste exactly like caramel corn (and honestly probably a little better!). 😊 They're EXTREMELY addictive, so beware! I may or may not grab a few pieces during the stirring process while they're baking, but they're best and super crunchy right out of the fridge. 👌
Ingredients:
6½ oz pork rinds
200 oz mixed nuts (or nuts of your choice)
½ cup packed brown sugar substitute
4 tbsp granulated sugar substitute
½ cup butter
1 tbsp water
Steps:
Break pork rinds into bite-sized pieces.
Place pork rinds and nuts into large bowl.
In 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter and water uncovered on high about 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until melted and smooth. Pour over pork rinds mixture, stirring until evenly coated.
Spread mixture into a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 250 degrees for 1½ hours. Be sure to stir well every 30 minutes. To crisp up the mix, turn the oven off and leave it in the oven with the door closed for the last 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.
