cheese straws
Baked cheddar twists
Cheese straws are thin, crisp baked snacks made from pastry dough flavored with cheese, typically cheddar.
They're twisted into stick or straw shapes before baking and served as appetizers or cocktail nibbles: She arranged cheese straws on the platter alongside the dip.
A staple of Southern American entertaining and British party fare.
