    Regular flavored pork rinds and peanut butter are really good instead of peanut butter and crackers.

    I always use crushed spicy hot porkrinds in my meatballs and meatloaf.

    Roll mozzarella cheese sticks in egg wash and crushed porkrinds. Deep fry and dip in low carb pizza sauce for a delicious snack.

    I once tried making a low carb hamburger helper with zucchini strips instead of pasta. My husband hated it and my barn cats that eat mice and rats wouldn't have anything to do with it. Major FAIL!! Lol

    I wish I like pork rinds...

    Remember to try them again periodically. The longer I'm low carb, the more my taste buds change, and I like things that used to make me gag!

    @Emilybeaver I like the Mac's brand (can get at WM) and the...darn it, there's another brand they carry, but essentially, if the brand name is Mexican/Spanish, you've probably got a good one. My favorite thing to do with them is to dip them in homemade ranch dip. I like some of them plain, but not all of them. And don't smell the bag when you open it...the scent can be overwhelming if you're just building up to it.

    Oh, and even the Aldi ones - try using them as breading with other seasonings. I bet they'll be fine.

    I threw them away already :/ but I will have to venture to the dreaded Wal-Mart and see if I can find some. I bet they would be good dipped in ranch, or a cheese sauce of some kind....

    You should also be able to find a few brands on Amazon or something, too. Just don't expect them to taste like potatoes. They're pork! LOL Also, you should be able to find Flackers or Flax Crackers online, as well.

    WM carries Mac's in several flavors. Hubby tried the BBQ, which I thought tasted like nothing. I'm currently in love with Mac's salt n vinegar pork rinds.
