They live up to their extra toasty name with every square bronzed on both sides. It\u2019s a carefully controlled browning and none of the crackers come close to tasting burnt. The cheddar jack flavor is assertive; it\u2019s tangy but also smooth and very cheesy. The cheese powder seems less prominent on these as compared to the regular Cheddar Jack Cheez-It, so if that was a sticking (dusting?) point for you, these should be less offensive.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ciextrajack3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-54781\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ciextrajack3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ciextrajack3.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ciextrajack3.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ciextrajack3.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ciextrajack3.jpeg?resize=60%2C60&amp;ssl=1 60w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ciextrajack3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>They have a bit of a \u201cpizza-flavored snack\u201d taste to them. The extra toasting reminds me of the browned spots on pizza cheese and the overall flavor has a familiarity with some pizza-flavored chips and crackers I\u2019ve had before.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>They\u2019re not going to become my favorite Cheez-It, but that being said, I couldn\u2019t stop eating them and would buy them again. If you\u2019re a fan of the regular Extra Toasty or Cheddar Jack flavors, I think you\u2019ll love these. If you don\u2019t have a strong opinion on Cheez-It crackers but appreciate salty, cheesy snacks, these are definitely worth a try.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 12.4 oz box<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Jewel-Osco<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (26 crackers) 150 calories, 8 grams of total fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 190 milligrams of sodium, 18 grams of total carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of dietary fiber, less than 1 gram of total sugar (0 grams of added sugar), and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are they?
