Cracklings are crispy, crunchy snacks made from the skin and fat of pigs. They are created by frying or baking the skin until it becomes puffy and golden brown. Often enjoyed as a savory treat, cracklings can be seasoned with various spices to enhance their flavor. These snacks are popular in many cuisines, particularly in Southern United States and Latin America. In addition to being a tasty snack, cracklings are sometimes used as a topping for dishes or incorporated into recipes for added texture and flavor.
