QSR Baked Cheese Snacks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Taco Bell's Craveable Cheddar Crisps are Made with 100% Real Cheese

— February 25, 2020 — Lifestyle
After introducing hot sauce-inspired Tortilla Chips in 2018, Taco Bell is introducing a new treat for fans to enjoy away from its restaurants in the form of baked cheese snacks. The Cheddar Crisps are made with 100% real cheese, making them flavorful, keto-friendly, gluten-free, suitable for vegetarians and free from artificial flavors and colors.

Taco Bell's Cheddar Crisps are offered in two sizes and three varieties inspired by beloved Taco Bell flavors: Nacho, Mild Sauce and Fire Sauce. While these snacks will be coming to convenience stores and other retailers, Taco Bell reminds us that they're not just great for on-the-go eating by suggesting that its Cheddar Crisps could also be used to elevate lunches and charcuterie boards.
