HAWKINSMade with Real Cheddar Cheese Cheezies, Big Boy Triple Pack 420g, 14.8oz , Made in Canada

Best cheezies ever!

Salty and expensive but worth it!

Although these are very salty, they are my favorite Cheeto substitutes by far. I am sensitive to MSG, so I haven't been able to enjoy Cheetos for years. During a trip to British Columbia, we picked up a bag of Cheezies on a whim and I could not put the bag down. I was instantly hooked. This could be a good thing or a bad thing. ;) When the borders to Canada were open, we would make trips to Canada to pick up a half dozen bags of these when my supplies were down, but when the borders closed, I had to resort to desperate measures and order some on Amazon. We were in Canada in June, so I stocked up on enough to get through the winter, but it is nice to have the option on Amazon in case of long stretches without my favorite snack. One thing to take into consideration is that they are about two to three times the cost on Amazon, but in a pinch, I would order them again.

Cheesiness is OK, but the actual substrate the cheese is on is WAY too crunchy. Hard to chew. Make them more like Cheetos. I will never buy these again.

Really tasty and better than Cheetos.

I was so anxious to get these after seeing Officer O’Reilly (sp) eating them online with his dog Radar and while I can certainly say they taste great they are seriously too crunchy. Make sure your dental work is in good shape and your dental plan is paid up. I could have eaten a lot more but I was worn out after a short while. They do have way more flavor than the popular brands of cheese puff stuff.

I love love cheesy salty snacks. I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur. But one thing I’ve noticed as an American and as someone who is getting more advanced in age (I’m a decade or so to middle age) I’ve found that things just don’t taste the same as they used to, and particularly my beloved salty snacks. All of the American name brand cheese snacks, Cheetos, Doodles, Jax, various Puffs, all just taste bland and terrible to me, and nothing like they used to. This has particularly been noticeable since the pandemic, where I’m certain that most major manufacturers started mass-using much cheaper and lower quality ingredients. And I get it, I’m munching on salty snacks, I shouldn’t expect duck confit. But still, I’ve been disappointed for years with snacks in USA. However, I recalled being in Canada about 20 years ago and having the most glorious cheese crunchies I’ve ever had. I liked them so much at the time, that I got 4 big bags to bring back home across the border. These were those cheese crunchies. The packaging and shipping of these was great. They were well packed, no burst bags or anything, and they seemed fresh, still have plenty of crunch although I imagine they were produced a while ago taking into account the import process. My reaction to taste? Eh. It’s certainly cheesy. But as much cheesy as it is, it’s probably double salty. And this is coming from someone who loves salt and has the blood pressure to prove it. It is just too much for me, and not worth the cost to import as I find it no better than what I can get in my own country. But I’m really glad I tried, as I’ve been thinking about these for literal years.

Super crunchy and cheesy!
