It's National Cheese Doodle Day! Stop by the snack machine and turn your fingers orange. Are you into the puffs? Cheese balls? The crunchy variety?
I like Cheetos (probably my #1 vending machine snack), cheese balls, hot cheese curls, and Trader Joe's white cheddar puffs. Thankfully the Trader Joe's near me moved away so I can no longer be tempted. I could eat half a bag (they are really big bags) in one sitting. Hot cheese curls (specifically the Cheetos brand) were a recent discovery for me. They're really spicy, but I like the flavor, and that's most important to me more than the spiciness level of a food. As for cheese balls, I think I'm good for the year. My brother and I split a barrel of Utz cheese balls around Christmas time, and if have some cheese balls now it'll still be too soon.
Did some googling on cheese doodles and did you know they were an accident? Corn puffs were inadvertently created while trying to process animal feed!
Here's how cheese puffs are made (video)!
