After first launching its 'Sriracha Cheese Curds' last year for a limited time, A&W is brining the spicy snack back to give more customers the chance to try it out.
Just like the first release, the Sriracha Cheese Curds are made with the chain's Wisconsin White Cheddar Cheese Curds, and are then coated with Sriracha seasoning. The snack can be enjoyed on its own or with one of A&W's dipping sauces, or ordered as a side to go along with a meal. As A&W President Paul Marino explains, "Franchise partners like them because they give sales a kick at the end of the year," due to the popularity of the limited edition snack among customers.
