There are plenty of cheesy snacks where cheese-like ingredients are used to add texture or flavor but Moon Cheese's snacks are made entirely from cheese. The [100% cheese snacks are crunchy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-cheese-sticks), free from sugar, low in carbs and provide more than 10 grams of protein per serving.

Although the flavors by Moon Cheese like [Garlickin' Parmesan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parmesan-snacks), Get Pepper Jacked and Cheddar Bacon Me Crazy are in fact made with cheese, they do not require refrigeration, which makes them ideal for on-the-go snacking. As well as being able to enjoy the [low-carb, high-protein, sugar-free savory snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babybel-protein) on their own, consumers may also appreciate being able to add the cheesy bites to salads, soups and other dishes that would benefit from extra crunch and nutritional value.
