Low and Slow Snacks has introduced a novel product — the Hickory Smoked BBQ Cheese Puffs — which stand out as the first authentically smoked BBQ snack in the market. Originating from Texas, this brand employs real hickory wood to infuse its snacks with a genuine barbecue aroma and flavor.

The BBQ cheese puffs are coated in a unique salty-sweet rub. This innovative approach to smoking cheese puffs creates a distinct sensory experience that sets them apart from traditional snacks. The company has garnered positive feedback following limited taste tests at events like the Troubadour BBQ & Music Festival.
