The new Simply White Cheddar Puffs and Simply White Cheddar Puffs with Jalapeño are an extension of Snackworthy's award's winning Simply Puffs snacks lineup. The new Simply White Cheddar Puffs and Simply White Cheddar Puffs with Jalapeño are both made from light and crispy corn puffs that have been baked, not fried. The puffs are also coated in [real aged white cheddar cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheezmos) to give them an extra-cheesy flavor. Best of all, the snacks are [gluten-free](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tasty-vibes), contain no trans fats, and are "Simply Free From 100+ Unworthy ingredients." With consumers eschewing conventional snacks for lighter choices, Snackworthy's new Simply Puffs offer a healthy yet flavorful option.
