Keto Pork Rind Puppy Chow Recipe:
Since my husband joined me on keto, I have been trying to keep snacks in the house.
My husband is a habitual snacker.
He snacks after dinner while watching tv and throughout the day.
While I don't recommend snacking like this, and I don't do it myself, it doesn't seem to do a thing to him.
He's lucky that he has an amazing metabolism (for now) and can eat as much as he wants whenever he wants, but being on the keto diet has been hard for him.
If I don't have some easy keto snacks for him to grab each night, he gets pretty miserable and a little cranky.
He has gotten better over the past few weeks, but I have found myself making at least 3-4 snack recipes each week.
If you love pork rinds as we do, you will probably love this recipe. If you don't, you should still try it. 😉
Tips: You can easily make this recipe by using the microwave, or you can melt the ingredients in a saucepan.
Dump your pork rinds in a bowl before placing them in a freezer bag so you can get rid of the dusty crumbs. You may also want to break really large pieces up into smaller pieces. This will help with your serving size.
Leave this in the fridge after eating so your chocolate doesn't melt. You can also try dark chocolate. If you use sugar like stevia or preferred sugar substitute , make sure you put it in a food processor first, so it's more like powder.

Hello! Last time a tried a recipe for keto puppy chow, they were really chewy. Is that normal?
ketosizeme says
Hey Laura, It's been a while since I made this but if I remember correctly it was chewy until I put it in the fridge. After that it was a lot crunchier. You could always try that! Hope that helps!
Shanna says
Puppy chow is one of my favorite things in the whole wide world and I was sure I would never get to have it again. Thank you so much, I can't wait to try this tonight!!!! Love your site and the way you keep Keto interesting and fresh!
Jnet says
Are you sure three tablespoons of Stevia..i use no more than an eighth on any recipe like a cake...? That seems like so much... Just checking
Tiff says
I was wondering the same. I'm a year late with wondering on this. Lol. Did u try it with 12 drops? Seems like alot because it's so concentrated.
Melissa says
I can't wait to try this. Of course, I'm going to add nuts, 100% cacao chips and shredded coconut.
Anne says
Butter is listed but not in the explanation of the recipe. Am I supposed to add butter? I missed it so I hope they turn out. Thanks!
ketosizeme says
Sorry Anne, it was in the photo but totally left out of the text. I fixed it! Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Beth W says
Thanks for this recipe- it looks amazing! I'm allergic to fruit- do you think I could sub butter for the cocnut oil, and honey for the stevia?
ketosizeme says
You can but you will have carbs with honey.
Debby says
How do you keep it crunchy?
Shanna says
This is delicious! But I am wondering how the nutritional facts work out. You put in 3.5 cups of pork rinds and get out 8 1.5 cup servings???
Shanna says
Maybe I read that wrong. Serving size is 1 1/2 or 1/2 cup?
Anita says
@Shanna, It is a 3.5 oz bag of pork rinds which equals 4 cups. Serving size is 1/2 cup.
Tracey says
Made this today. It was really good. Placed the ziplock bag in the freezer immediately then I kept it in the freezer until I wanted a treat. YUMMY!!!!
Lynda says
Thank you! I finally made this. So easy and good. Love mixing the chocolate directly into the bag - less cleanup. I put it into the freezer. Can’t wait to check out your other recipes.
Dani says
DUDE. this recipe is amazing. This stuff is addicting and satisfies my craving for chocolate and peanut butter! I did not use liquid stevia as i had none on hand so instead I used stevia or preferred sugar substitute . A little over half a cup did the trick! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
Ashley says
I wasn't skeptical but this was delicious!!! I used 2 tsp of pyure (granulated stevia and stevia or preferred sugar substitute blend) and after I coated the rinds with the melted mixture I added some confectioners swerve and shook it up again. So, so good! Thanks for the recipe!
Paula says
How do you keep it crunchy? Mine became soggy and I kept it in refrigerator
Thank you
ketosizeme says
You can just put it in a ziplock in the pantry (unless it's super humid where you live).

I made this last night and it was great- but I made some changes. I couldn't fit it in a bag, so I had to toss it in a bowl- no big deal though. Changes I made--broke the rinds to small bite size pieces--that way you get more of the flavoring in each bite. Also used chunky PB - for more crunchy). I used 1/2C of monk fruit instead of Stevia-it melts when you heat it. No problem with it staying crunchy. I froze it first I think you have to freeze to set the butter, then transferred it to the frig in an airtight bowl. After, I mixed up some powdered Swerve with cocoa powder and tossed the rinds in that(after they were in the frig). I left the powdered mixture in the bowl and then shake occasionally-rather than throwing it out.- Swerve is too expensive to throw out! This is a great recipe and will definitely make this regularly !! Maybe I'll try some of the variations next time.
