Aunt Rocky’s No Rice Crispy Treats

Line a 9-inch loaf pan with waxed paper. Crush pork rinds and set aside.

In a small mixing bowl, melt 3 tablespoons coconut oil. Add powdered sweetener and vanilla, and mix well. Fold in pork rinds, folding until they are well coated. Turn out into lined loaf pan. Level the top, but don’t pack the mixture down tight.

In another small bowl, melt baker’s chocolate and remaining 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil in the microwave for 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. There may be a few bits not yet melted. Just wait a minute or two and they will melt. Don’t overcook the chocolate or it will burn.

Stir in liquid sweetener,. Drizzle over the top of the crispy treats. Refrigerate or freeze for just a few minutes until chocolate is set hard.

Pull the entire batch out of the pan using the waxed paper. Cut into 12 pieces. Store in the refrigerator with waxed paper between the layers. They will be fine in the fridge for at least a week, and will stay crispy.

Notes:
• I keep a jar of crushed pork rinds in my pantry to use for quick treats like this, and for breading meats. It saves a lot of time.
