I know those pork rinds with cinnamon and Splenda sound awful, but they're actually really good. Something about the combination of sweet and salty and crunchy and cinnamon is remarkably tasty. Easy, too: Just mix together 1/4 cup Splenda granular with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Add to a 5-ounce bag of plain pork rinds, and shake till they're all coated.

I'm not a big fan of pork rinds as they come out of the bag, but these are quickly becoming a staple around here. The great thing about them is about five or six pieces are enough to fill me up and keep me going for several hours. You know perfectly well the same cannot be said for chips!
