If you're a fan of cheesy, crunchy snacks, then March 5th, National Cheese Doodle Day, is the perfect excuse to indulge! These beloved, puffed corn snacks have been a staple in snack aisles for decades, offering a satisfying crunch and a dusting of neon-orange cheese powder.
Cheese doodles, known in various forms such as Cheetos, Cheese Puffs, and Wotsits, originated in the 1940s, with their invention often credited to an accidental discovery during animal feed production. Since then, they have become a go-to snack for casual munching and party bowls alike.
To celebrate, grab a bag of your favorite cheese doodles, try making a homemade version, or get creative by incorporating them into recipes—think cheese doodle-crusted mac and cheese or cheesy breadcrumb substitutes!
Love them or hate them, cheese doodles have left their mark on snack culture, making March 5th a fun day to embrace this cheesy, crunchy indulgence.
