Paws

What is it?

Paw-shaped corn snacks with the standard Cheetos cheddar dusting, these sit between Crunchy and Puffs in texture. They’re denser than the airy puffs and less rigid than the baked-style sticks, with a flatter shape that gives each piece more surface area for seasoning. Revived from the 1990s after years off shelves, they fit into the brand’s lineup as a middle ground rather than a separate formula. Available at select grocery retailers, they’re typically sold in the usual bagged snack format, ready to eat straight from the bag.
