Fried Cheese-Filled Chips

7-Eleven is Releasing an Exclusive Cheesy Snack Called Doritos Loaded

— June 20, 2014 — Lifestyle
Iconic convenience store 7-Eleven has teamed up with cheesy chip company Doritos to release the snack of the summer: Doritos Loaded. The snack adheres to the concept of a mozzarella stick, but uses cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella and is fried with Doritos breading instead of plain bread crumbs. Of course, it also mimics the triangle shape of the chip instead of a stick.

And in case your mouth is watering right now and you're about to make a dart out the door to the nearest 7-Eleven, this hybrid snack unfortunately isn't rolling out until July 2nd. However, it will be debuted by the convenience company on a multi-city Doritos Loaded food truck tour this week. Check out the Doritos Loaded website to find out if the drool-worthy cheese triangles will be near you.
