MinisCheetos Canister - Flamin' Hot Bites

The powder to puff ratio is great. If you think the regular ones are spicy, I feel like these are spicier. If these didn’t kill my stomach, I’d buy them more frequently. They are crunchy but more like the Cheeto puffs than the regular kind. These are not as oily feeling as the regular hot Cheetos and I appreciate the tube packaging that makes them easy to eat without getting my fingers dirty. My tube was not damaged at all during packaging, but the lid was loose when I tried closing them back up.

I gave these a try. I have eaten all the Hot spicy red dye 40 chips. So best description would be if a smaller crunchier version of a hot cheeto puff. Think a condensed small balls of hot cheeto puffs. That's what these minis are. They're not my favorite of Cheetos. I would not heat level is somewhere in between a hot cheeto and a hot cheeto puff. They are small about the size of a dime.

My husband loves these! They aren’t too hard, and they were fresh. He loves grabbing the can for work.

Love hot cheetos 😋 and this smaller size is perfect to snack on while watching TV

As a single mom, my sacred snack time usually hits around 3AM after the house is quiet, the kid is asleep, and I finally get a minute to exist in peace. I cracked open this can of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Minis expecting that satisfying crunch and spicy kick I know and love from the classic bag version.Instead, I got… vinegar. Like, strong vinegar. Like, did I just lick the outside of a hot sauce bottle that’s been sitting in the sun? That kind of vinegar. The flavor threw me off so hard I had to double-check the label to make sure I hadn’t grabbed a prank snack.That said the crunch is good, the spice level is there, and the portability is chef’s kiss. I can stash this tube in my nightstand, my car, or my purse like a chaotic snack gremlin, and they’ll stay fresh way longer than a crinkly chip bag.Still giving 4 stars because I did eat the whole thing (obviously), and they’re fun to munch in small bursts. But if you’re chasing that classic Flamin’ Hot flavor, just be warned these minis have their own chaotic personality. The heat level? Honestly pretty tame. No sweats, no tears, not even a real “hot” moment just a tangy tingle that lingers more in confusion than fire.Great for snacking, size is great for on the go. Not great when you’ve built your night around them and end up tasting disappointment and vinegar dust.

Why did it take so long for these to be made?Seriously they are so good it's almost illegal. Plus being in the can. Perfect for snacking on the go.I bought this for my granddaughter. Picky should be her middle name. She absolutely loved them! Huge hit.

Good stuff

I love hot Cheetos puffs and cheese balls, and this is basically that (without the cheese ball flavor), but they aren’t anything to write home about. With that being said, if you like hot Cheetos puffs, you’ll like these because they taste the exact same. They are worth the $2 because it’s a pretty big can, and it’s filled almost to the top.
