Snack Foods: Cheeze Puffs

Today we had a small gathering at the house.  That can only mean one thing: bring out the snack foods!  As always, my husband and I try to find munchies to satisfy our guests without breaking the bank.

One of our mutual friends stopped at Safeway to pick up some contributions to the snack pile.  As a result, we ended up with some generic cheese puffs.  See below:

Ok, so the technical term is "Trap-Cheese Artist"


Well, they definitely look similar to their name brand counterpart.
So, how do the cheese puffs with the funny name compare to their counterpart?

  • The Good:  They are light, crispy, crunchy, and leave your fingers with that familiar neon orange powder coating.  The bag is resealable (and the seal actually lives up to its name) so the puffs stay good for a long time. 
  • The Bad: They definitely aren't the healthiest snack, but no one (hopefully) picks these up with the intention of shedding pounds.   
  • Verdict: Safeway brand cheese puffs are worth picking up.  They are consistently cheaper compared with their brand name counterpart, unless you happen to have a coupon/store sale combination to work with.
