Re: "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" - odd but good!
I'm not a big cereal lover but I did try this a few times and it made a very nice snack. It really did seem like I was eating cereal. It even looks kind of like cereal (Frosted Flakes perhaps?) in the bowl. I came up with a variation of SOFRESH'S recipe that has fewer carbs and uses Da Vinci syrup.
MOCK CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH VARIATION
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons vanilla Da Vinci sugar free syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ounce coarsely crushed pork rinds, or enough to fill the bowl
Pour the cream, water and Splenda in the bottom of a cereal bowl; stir well. Stir in the cinnamon. Don't worry if the cinnamon clumps up a bit. Add the pork rinds and stir until completely moistened. Eat quickly with a spoon before it gets too soggy. This version has less carbs and fat than the original and tastes just the same.

For comparison, here are the counts for a bowl of real Cinnamon Toast Crunch with 5 tablespoons of 2% milk on it:

Re: "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" - odd but good!
I have this recipe copied and haven't been brave enough to try it even though I'm really missing cereal now and then. LOL! Does it have a pork rind after-taste at all?Comment

Re: "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" - odd but good!
Not that I've noticed. They state to cover the rinds well with the cream mixture so maybe that helps. I hear you on the cereal, I can give up most everything else without an issue but I do struggle with cereal. Been good about not cheating since I gave up All-Bran but it's sure nice to have a cereal that is Atkins-safe.Originally posted by dream
Personally, I won't be able to eat this much because of the Splenda but that's ok. All my foods with Splenda are snacks and I really don't need to be eating that many snacks.~ Terry ~Eat to Live, Not Live to Eat ~ Carpe Diem! ~

I have no idea.Originally posted by ConfusedAndNeedHelp
I had this again yesterday with only half a packet of Splenda. It was still good. Just a note, others have stated on this board that too many pork rinds may make you retain water, so don't go overboard just because it's safe...~ Terry ~Eat to Live, Not Live to Eat ~ Carpe Diem! ~

Re: "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" - odd but good!
I am a pork rind addict (I actually have always liked them better than chips) so I am steering clear of them for snacking for now. I will probably use the plain ones to bread stuff with though.
Gosh, how can a person be addicted to pork rinds? I really am from the South!

Re: "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" -- Brilliant!
Best snack so far!
I made sure to use very cold water with the cream, and I skipped the cinnamon but used a drop of vanilla extract instead.
Cap'n Crunch? Who needs him!
Maybe a bit of unsweetened cocoa next time...
Yow!
