I just "rediscovered" my cache of recipes from Peter Neuman. A few are regular staples in my house. Peter Neuman is a legend on the Somersize boards. He was 17 and in culinary school when he lost over 135 pounds. I am going to share these with you as I know you will enjoy them. He even makes pork rinds palateable!

CINNAMON TWISTS

Crunchy and sweet, these tasty treats are very similar to the cinnamon twists we all enjoyed at the carnival in our childhood. If you are looking for the perfect alternative to popcorn while enjoying a night at the movies, look no further. You may actually have people wishing they had these instead of popcorn.
Ingredients:
1 80 gram bag of Pork Rinds (a.k.a. Bacon Puffs, I use "Old Dutch" brand)
6 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup of cinnamon if you are a cinnamon lover (or 1/8 cup if you like a less strong in cinnamon flavor)
3/4 cup Splenda or 1 1/2 tablespoons Sweetbalance. (may use more or less sweetener to adjust to personal tastes)
Directions: Preheat oven to 200 Degrees Fahrenheit. Melt butter in a small bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until melted. Drizzle one tablespoon of butter over pork rinds at a time, then thoroughly mix the pork rinds. Continue this method until you have drizzled all the butter over the pork rinds and they are completely coated in butter. Add cinnamon and sweetener to a small bowl and mix until it is a uniform mixture. Place half the amount of the cinnamon/sweetener mixture in large plastic bag. Add 1/2 half of the pork rinds and shake gently until they are coated. Spread pork rinds on a large cookie sheet in a single layer. Place the remaining cinnamon/sweetener mixture into the bag, coating the remaining pork rinds, placing them on the cookie sheet. Bake on lower rack of oven for about 15-20 minutes. This will make them nice and crisp. Store in Ziploc Bag or airtight container. They can be stored in the cupboard for at least one week. Take along in individual snack bags to a summer BBQ or to munch on at the movies. ENJOY!
