Best Keto Caramel Popcorn
Our Keto Caramel Popcorn is made using pork rinds coated in a delicious browned butter and sweetener mixture. Butter and sweetener are combined and cooked until the butter turns a nutty brown color and flavor. The mixture is poured over the crumbled pork rinds and tossed together. When the mixture cools on the popcorn, the popcorn will have a nice crisp sugary coating. The sweet might sound strange on salty pork rinds, but the combination makes for a delicious sweet and salty flavor. This recipe is super easy to make and enjoy!
What is the best kind of pork rind to use for this?
If possible, try to source pork rinds that are sustainably raised without the use of antibiotics.
What is the best sweetener to use for this recipe?
The best sweetener we have found for this type of recipe is to use powdered erythritol or a powdered erythritol/monk fruit sweetener blend.

15 min
Step 1
Crumble the pork rinds to “popcorn” sized pieces. Place them into a large mixing bowl so they are ready for the sweet mixture you are about to make. Alternatively, you can gently crush the pork rinds in a ziploc bag.Step 2
Combine the butter, powdered erythritol, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Place the mixture on low heat to melt the butter and sweetener together. Make sure to stir often.Step 3
Once the mixture is melted and stirred together you can allow the mixture to simmer without being stirred. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes until it is browned and has a nutty aroma.Step 4
Immediately pour the mixture over the crumbled pork rinds. Toss together to coat. Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool.Step 5
The sweetener mixture will harden on the rinds as it cools. Enjoy immediately. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.

Delicious. I accidentally used unsalted butter on the Chiccarones 4505 with sea salt. It was perfect and a great crunchy snack.

I drizzled melted low carb chocolate over top. The perfect snack for watching the Christmas movie Die Hard
