I am on Weight Watchers can I make these?

Yes you sure can! I am a lifetime member of WW and like to incorporate Low Carb and Keto Recipes with the WW Smart Points system.

For a weight watchers version I used the Weight Watchers Mozzarella Sticks which were only 1 point each and the Pork Rinds are 2 points for ½ ounce which is good for about 4 mozzarella sticks. So you can count this as 1 ½ points per stick if you use the WW Mozzarella Sticks.

If you use a non WW Mozzarella stick or different cheese they are usually between 2-3 points per stick depending on the brand you would have to check the labels to calculate the exact points.
