Planters Introduce New Cheez Balls Flavors, Including Blazin' Hot

— February 17, 2020 — Lifestyle
After the huge success of last year's relaunch of Planters Cheez Balls, the company recently announced that its iconic, neon orange 90s snack is now available in all four new variants including White Cheddar, Nacho and Blazin’ Hot Cheez Balls.

White Cheddar and Nacho Cheez Balls are available nationwide now, and Blazin’ Hot Cheez Balls will start scorching the snack aisle beginning April 2020. The fourth flavor, Jalapeno Cheddar Cheez Balls, will be available nationally later this year.

These nostalgic products bring back sentimental feelings and are perfect for fans of the 90s treat looking to bring the past into the present. Plus the cheese-flavored snack boasts the same vintage packaging as the original, a touch dedicated fans will appreciate.
