Flamin' Hot Puffs

What is it?

Light, airy cheese puffs meet Cheetos’ cayenne-based Flamin’ Hot seasoning here, with the same red coating you’d expect from the crunchy version. Because the puff format has more air and less structure, it breaks down quickly in the mouth, so the seasoning lands fast and spreads across the tongue with little chewing. Underneath, there’s the familiar mild cheddar-style cheese base that runs through the brand’s snack lineup, but the heat is the main thing doing the work. Fingers pick up the usual orange-red dust, and the texture stays soft all the way through.
