What are some creative ways to use cheese puff snacks?

For a tasty snack, you can make trail mix with cheese puffs along with pretzels, nuts, and wheat cereal squares or dip them into warm queso for an extra-cheesy treat. Crushed cheese puff snacks make a delicious addition to macaroni and cheese or tuna pasta salad, and they create a tasty coating for baked chicken breasts or fish filets.

How do I store crunchy or puffed cheese snacks?

To keep crunchy or puffed cheese snacks from getting stale, put them in an air-tight zippered storage bag and store them in a cupboard or pantry. At room temperature, these snacks keep for up to one week.

How are crunchy cheese snacks made?

Crunchy cheese snacks are made by mixing cornmeal with water to create the batter. The batter moves through a special machine that creates puffed snacks with a signature tubular shape. After the snacks are fried they take on a crunchy texture. Then, they are sprinkled with real cheese powder and bagged. The result is a crunchy, cheesy treat for after-school, weekend, or late-night snacking.
