💡Tips
1. The Bowl
Choose a wide, shallow microwave safe bowl instead of a deep one. This helps the pork rinds heat more evenly and makes it easier to toss them with the cheese mixture.
A deep bowl can cause the pork rinds at the bottom to get less cheese coating, while a wide bowl allows you to spread them out better.
2. Perfect Cheese Mix
When mixing the cheese powder and seasoning, take your time to break up any clumps. Clumps can create uneven flavor spots – some bites will be too cheesy while others won’t have enough flavor.
Use a fork to mix the powders together, pressing against the sides of the bowl to break up any lumps.

FAQ
Where can I find cheddar cheese powder?
Cheddar cheese powder is available in most grocery stores in the popcorn seasoning section or the spice aisle. You can also find it online on Amazon.
Look for brands like Hoosier Hill Farm or Anthony’s. Make sure to check the ingredients to ensure it’s carnivore friendly.
Some cheese powders contain additives or fillers that aren’t suitable for the carnivore diet.
How long do these stay crunchy?
When stored properly, these cheese puffs stay crunchy for 2-3 days. The key is letting them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Put a paper towel at the bottom of the container to catch any moisture.
