Cheetos just dropped the news about its release of cheese pizza-flavored cheese puffs. This particular flavor has been available in other countries for some time now, including Canada. So now it’s time for US fans to enjoy a new snacking experience. As of writing, there’s no official date for the release yet. However, speculators think that the new flavor will be available in the next couple of months since it’s going to be a part of the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) Show this October.
The new Cheetos flavor was met with mostly positive reactions from snack lovers.

Latest Snack Releases from Cheetos
Consumers today are more open to trying new flavors and unconventional snacks. This is also a pattern that Cheetos noticed and the reason why the brand increased its efforts in releasing new items. If you’ve been away for a while, here’s the latest about Cheetos and its product line:
Cheetos Pretzels
Cheetos unexpectedly broke into a new category when they released Cheetos Pretzels. This new snack targets not just cheese lovers, but also pretzel fans. Isn’t it a genius idea? According to Cheetos, each bite offers two distinct flavors as one side has the classic pretzel taste and the other carries Cheetos’ signature Cheetle dust. The Cheetos Pretzels has two varieties: Cheetos Pretzels Cheddar and Cheetos Pretzels Flamin’ Hot.
Cheetos’ Bag of Bones
These Bag of Bones snacks are the perfect treat to have for Halloween. Each bag will give you chips in the shape of skulls and bones to get you in the spooky mood. In terms of flavor, you have two options and one of them is not that cheesy. Surprised? Me too! The Bag of Bones are available in White Cheddar and Cinnamon Sugar flavors. Some snack lovers aren’t a fan of the Cinnamon Sugar variant, while others thought that it was nice and not too sweet. They even came up with the nickname “Sweetos” for the Cheetos in disguise. Along with the release of Bag of Bones, Cheetos also welcomed back the Cheetos’ Mac N’ Cheese, this time with spooky-shaped pasta.

From The Club
I love pizza and I love Cheetos. So knowing that Cheetos is planning to release a cheese pizza-flavored puffs is kind of a dream come true! Surprisingly, pizza flavor is something that’s hard to capture when loaded into chips. But I have faith in Cheetos…I’m already imagining the puffs having an overall taste close to the white cheddar variant with a slight tang and some zest.
