Last summer, Totino’s unveiled Mini Snack Mix bags and the brand is expanding this selection with a fiery new kind of cheese-filled snack. The Takis Fuego Mini Snack Bites are described as being like taking "a bite of lava," as they contain a crunchy exterior that gives way to intense flavor from a cheesy filling that's infused with hot chili pepper and lime.
These snacks pack additional heat since they're meant to be enjoyed warm, either by preparing them in the microwave or the oven. A single bag contains 60 of the bite-sized frozen snacks that offer a different experience than plain potato chips or other comparable crunchy snacks, and they offer the experience of a cheesy frozen handheld meal on a smaller scale.
