Thank you Brenda, oh, thank you!

Made it today. I couldn’t find my 8x8 pan so I used a 9” pie round and served it like slices of pie. I made up some fresh whipped cream to top it off. It was AMAZING. I didn’t over do it. It’s so rich, one slice (I cut six slices) was plenty.

Thanks again for an awesome recipe Brenda.

There kinda is with non caloric artificial sweeteners.
First, take a blood glucose reading. Do this several hours after a meal. Next, isolate the possible offender and injest. Alone. Mix in water is easiest. Test sucralose, aspartame, stevia, erythritol and maltitol. Etc. Individually.

Here’s the trick:
Watch for a blood glucose DROP.
Yes, I said DROP, by 10 or more points. This indicates a significant release of insulin.
I’d test every 30 minutes for two hours for an accurate reading.

Thanks for the new recipe & tips on indirectly checking insulin response.

Is there ANYTHING that you can’t make with pork rinds? :blush:

(BTW, congrats on the new position with IDM, they are lucky to have you!)

No, no there is not. Heh

And a sincere thank you :heart:

Oh cool! I think I will try to set a schedule to try out the sweeteners. Thanks for the instructions. In the meantime, I’m becoming suspicious of spam singles. I just started using them 2 weeks ago and I have been hungry and eating more often.

They do contain a little bit of carbohydrate. Potato starch I believe. But who knows if they are causing a problem for you. Do some self-experimentation. If you really believe that’s what’s increasing your appetite cut spam out of your diet. But seriously if you are hungry you may just need to eat more fat! Most people don’t eat enough fat on keto.

Does anyone know of a pork rind brand that isn’t so salty?

Buy chicharrones from a Hispanic grocery. They’re fresher also

Thanks Brenda!

Dang it brenda, you’re the reason that pork rind prices are going up around me aren’t you?

(Athena) #34

Oh My Goodness! I made these today and I just had one. They are Fantastic! But it melted in my hands. Did I not wait long enough, or was I supposed to put them in the freezer? I put them in the fridge.

The chocolate topping definately melts easily. I keep mine in the fridge too

OK. I admit I was a bit suspicious of the almond extract with the peanut butter. Did it anyway. Results? After tasting for sweetness, I was tempted to eat the entire bowl. My pork rinds weren’t crushed flour fine, but the dough has a nice crunch. Currently in frig before adding the chocolate.

Excellent and easy . Another pork rind masterpiece.

Thank you Brenda.

This looks amazing!

Oh, don’t forget to try other butters. Made some with homemade toasted hazelnut butter. Amazing!

CAREFUL, @Brenda might take this as a challenge! :rofl:

Funny, I ate some at lunch & was wishing they were saltier! :upside_down_face:
