The Burger King Flamin' Hot Mac n' Cheetos have been announced by the brand as a followup to the original fried snack to provide patrons with a spicy alternative that is sure to satisfy cravings for macaroni and cheese.
The fried snacks consist of portions of macaroni and cheese that has been coated with a crispy crust before being doused in a crunchy coating of Flamin' Hot Cheetos. The snacks are shaped to look just like puff-style Cheetos, which makes them a somewhat obscure yet indulgent side to pick up from the QSR brand.
The Burger King Flamin' Hot Mac n' Cheetos are available only for a limited time and can be ordered in packs of five.
