Snack #178- Cheetos Crunchy Fiery Fusion Sizzlin’ Cayenne & Cheese Flavored Snacks

Cheetos Crunchy Fiery Fusion Sizzlin’ Cayenne & Cheese Flavored Snacks

These snacks are kind of a weird dull orange color and they are strangely flavored.  At first they taste like a spiceless, boring cheese Cheeto but then after a few seconds they start to burn in the back of the throat.  The burn doesn’t have a lot of strong cayenne or jalapeño flavor as the bag claims.  Mostly these just taste like poorly flavored cheese Cheetos with some generic spice throat burn.  They have a lot of odd ingredients like brown sugar and butter and I think the addition of the sweet flavors and multiple ‘cheese’ flavors muddles the overall taste and hides the flavors of the spices.  Not nearly as successful as some of the other spicy cheese and corn snacks we’ve tasted.

Rating on the Spice-O-Meter: 4/10
Bottom Line: Dull cheese flavor with surprise burn at the end.
