cheese puffs

Crunchy orange snacks

Cheese puffs are a snack food made from puffed cornmeal coated with cheese-flavored powder.

They're light, crunchy, and leave orange residue on fingers.

The category includes both the irregularly shaped puffs and the cylindrical curls: I ate an entire bag of cheese puffs while watching TV.
