"I wanted to try these and I'm so glad I did! They start off with a good buttery taste that quickly turns into sweetness, almost like buttery caramel.

They remind me of Cap'n Crunch or Whoppers. They're a bit pricey, but I didn't feel like it was a waste of money—definitely an indulgence!"

Nothing gets stuck in my teeth, and I don’t have cheesy fingers afterward! The small size packs a big punch of white cheddar flavor. After tasting one, I exclaimed, 'oh, wow, that’s good!' My husband, who is not a fan of Cheetos, agreed. I was impressed by the clear and understandable ingredients! I will certainly buy more!"
