Crunchy Cheese Puffs
What it is
These are light and airy puffed corn snacks coated in a savory cheese seasoning. They are made from cornmeal that is extruded under pressure and then fried or baked to create their signature puffy texture. The cheese flavor comes from a blend of real cheese powders and other seasonings, giving them a distinctively tangy and salty taste that is popular with many snack lovers. They are a simple yet satisfying treat.
