Honey BBQ Puffs

What is it?

Airy cheese puffs get coated with clover honey and smoky barbecue seasoning in this snack from Cheetos. The texture is light and brittle, then it melts quickly on the tongue, so the seasoning comes through as a glaze rather than a thick crust. Sweetness leads, with honey and brown sugar up front, followed by hickory smoke, vinegar, and a little salty cheddar in the background. Compared with standard Cheetos, these lean sweeter and more barbecue-forward, while keeping the same puffed corn base. They’re packaged as a bagged snack, ready to eat straight from the bag, with no prep needed.
