Twisted Puffs

What is it?

Corkscrew-shaped cheese puffs with deep ridges, these snacks were built to hold more cheddar seasoning on the surface. Compared with standard Cheetos puffs, the twisted form gave each piece more edges and grooves, so the texture landed between airy and crunchy. They’re dry, shelf-stable snacks made from cornmeal and cheese seasoning, with the familiar orange dusting Cheetos uses across the lineup. The shape does the main work here. Instead of a smooth puff, you get a spiral that concentrates flavor in the folds and changes how the bite breaks down.
