Spicy Cheese Crunchies

Blazing back to our shelves after an extended absence, Trader Joe’s Spicy Cheese Crunchies have officially returned—and we couldn’t be more fired up. In case you didn’t have the chance to try them the first time around, now’s a great time to get in on the fiery hot fun. They’re made with a base of crunchy, craggy corn, flavored with a savory mix of seasonings that includes Cheddar Cheese powder, garlic powder, and chili pepper, while their signature red-hot hue is achieved thanks to a blend of paprika, vegetable juice, and turmeric. What better way could there be to bring the heat to your next potluck, tailgate, or picnic?

We enjoy munching on these gluten free Crunchies by the bowlful while watching a movie, lazing on a weekend afternoon, or sipping on something nice and chilled to balance out the burn. They make a great, Spicy little side for a hot dog, hamburger, or taco, and when crumbled up fine, they make an able ingredient for breaded chicken tenders, elote, or phenomenally full-flavored macaroni and cheese. We’ve even known a few folks who are partial to sprinkling crushed Spicy Cheese Crunchies over ice cream. Join us in welcoming Trader Joe’s Spicy Cheese Crunchies back by grabbing a bag today!
