Between new Oreo cookies, pints of Ben & Jerry's, and Little Debbie treats, there is no shortage of exciting new snacks coming to stores this month. But what about a little salty with the sweet. Enter: Cheetos. The beloved brand and its cheetah mascot just unveiled a new flavor that's a permanent addition to its cheesy snack lineup: Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo. Here's what you need to know about the new release. Cheetos Introduces New Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo Cheetos We take football food very seriously here at Allrecipes, so we were more than happy to hear it influenced the latest Cheeto flavor. And, since everyone knows Buffalo wings are the GOAT when it comes to game day food, it's no surprise that they're the inspiration behind Cheetos' latest flavor drop, Cheetos Crunchy Buffalo. The new Buffalo-flavored Cheetos are spicy, cheesy, and even more finger-licking good than the usual Cheetos. Debuting just in time for your Big Game watch party, these Cheetos promise to be "the second-best Buffalo thing you’ll eat during the game," according to a press release. And to make sure fans knows its okay to be number two, Cheetos has teamed up with the second overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, CJ Stroud. Together, Cheetos and the Houston Texans quarterback are throwing the "second-best Super Bowl Party" in Las Vegas for one lucky fan and five members of their crew. To enter to win a Super Bowl Party with Stroud and plenty of other runner-up prizes (including a $22,222.22 cash prize), head to the Cheetos Instagram page today to view the contest post. Along with the recently returned, fan-favorite Blazin' Buffalo Doritos, it seems Frito Lay is going all in on Buffalo this season, and we're not mad about it. Was this page helpful?
