Mock Cinnamon Twists/Puffs
« on: February 04, 2011, 12:36:36 AM »
Do you miss having cinnamon twists or puffs from the fast food restaurants or grocery store.  I have been trying several different ideas and finally found a very simple solution that you won't believe.

Take a plate full of plain, unflavored pork rinds....yes I said pork rinds.  Melt some butter in the microwave and pour over the pork rind tops. 

Mix cinnamon and a sugar substitute like Truvia or Stevia.  Sprinkle over the the tops of the buttered pork rinds.

Walla!  You have your own cinnamon puffs.

Note:  I thought I had come up with something new but while I was looking for images for this post I saw someone else had posted a recipe on a recipe site.  Well you know what they say...."great minds think alike" and "necessity is the mother of invention".
Peace and blessings,

I bet it was Katary - King of the Pork Rinds - who came up with it before. I recall him writing about a baked recipe like this before.

No they stayed crunchy.  I didn't soak them in butter just drizzled enough over the top to wet them so the cinnamon/sweetner stuck to it.  I also ate them right away.  I would only make enough to eat then.
