Frito-Lay recently announced that it will be expanding one of its signature snacks to the United States market -- the Chile & Cheese Cheetos Bolitas are the latest to join. It was originally a release that was only available in Mexico and takes on the form of a traditional cheese ball.
It comes in a Mexican Chile con Queso flavor and it is a small bite-sized sphere snack that has a crunchy exterior. The interior is soft and has a savory and spicy flavor filling. Similar to the classic Cheetos from the brand, the Bolitas snacks are made using real cheese for a flavorful bite. It can also be dipped into salsa for another taste experience.
