Spicy Cheese Curd Snacks

A&W's New Sriracha Cheese Curds are Made with Wisconsin White Cheddar

— October 29, 2019 — Lifestyle
This holiday season, A&W is spicing things up with its new Sriracha Cheese Curds. Combining everyone's favorite hot sauce (Sriracha) with one of America's favorite snacks (cheese), the new side dish is sure to be a hit.

A&W's new Sriracha Cheese Curds start with 100 percent Wisconsin White Cheddar Cheese Curds, which are not only a regional favorite, but also one of the chain's most popular items. To keep things interesting, the new version of the curds are coated in a spicy Sriracha-flavored breading and then fried until golden. As A&W's Vice President of Marketing Sarah Blasi explains, "We call it our ‘side with a kick’ because it has the perfect amount of spice."

The new Sriracha Cheese Curds are available until December 29, 2019.
