When I originally saw the images on the bag, I thought they were churros-shaped, but they are not. Instead, they look like large pillowy cereal pieces that could help you consume 100 percent of your daily fiber. <\/p>\n<p>The four kinds of cheese that flavor the snack are: Monterey jack, cheddar, gouda, and mozzarella.<\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\n<p>I like Sun Chips, but if you gave me the option between them and a bag of potato chips, I\u2019d take the fried spud slices and leave the Sun Chips 10 out of 10 times. But if bags of Sun Puffs Four Cheese and Cheetos were in front of me, I\u2019d grab the Cheetos, but then also snag the Sun Puffs, because I\u2019m greedy and they are sun-prisingly wonderful.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/strongSizestrongbr-RatingSun-Puffs-Four-Cheese-Closeup.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sun Puffs Four Cheese Closeup\" title=\"Sun Puffs Four Cheese Closeup.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With the combination of cheeses, they have a slightly funky aroma and a mature tangy flavor that mostly hides the fact I\u2019m eating a whole grain snack. Although, the cheesiness eventually fades and there\u2019s a whole grain aftertaste. Think of these as tasting like a Triscuit with some decent cheese. They don&#8217;t quite reach Cheetos-level of snackability, but I still dig them.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>While they\u2019re made with 100 percent whole grain and look like a cereal that\u2019ll give you 100 percent of your daily intake of fiber, a serving provides only seven percent of your daily fiber. Yes, you could eat the entire bag and get about 40 percent, which is plausible because they\u2019re hard to stop eating.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/strongSizestrongbr-RatingSun-Puffs-Four-Cheese-Comparison.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sun Puffs Four Cheese Comparison\" title=\"Sun Puffs Four Cheese Comparison.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Sun Puffs Four Cheese next to a Chicken in a Biskit<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Also, regarding the whole grains, if you don\u2019t like how regular Sun Chips feel in your mouth as you break them down with your teeth, then expect these to give you that same feeling. You know, the graininess that reminds you that Sun Chips are not Tostitos or regular potato chips.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Frito-Lay, who also makes Cheetos, also makes Sun Puffs. So if there\u2019s anyone who knows how to create addictive cheese-flavored crunchy puffs, it\u2019s Frito-Lay. And it did a great job with these.
