Want Want cheese flavored rice crackers: In this bizarre East meets West snack, a cheese powder reminiscent of what you might find in boxed mac and cheese is paired with the crunchy, neutral base of an Asian rice cracker. The combination is odd yet intriguing. The cheese flavor is lighter and creamier than most cheese snacks but surely not any less artificial. The packaging is much nicer than most Want Want snacks-each packet contains two rice crackers in a frosted, plastic wrapper. 3.0/5.0

Frito Lay Oven Baked Cheetos: Here, Frito-Lay continues its venture into healthier snacking, yet doesn't abandon the iconic Chester seal of approval. The oven-baked cheese crackers have a less tangy "cheddar" flavor than its fried (?) counterpart. Most strikingly, the chips are less airy and don't melt-in-your-mouth like the regular snack does. Overall, it's a decently filling snack that does the job of satiating mid-day hunger. 3.0/5.0

Bearito's Cheddar Puffs: Baked cheddar corn puffs made with non-GMO verified ingredients. The cheddar coating is somewhat unevenly distributed; when I first opened the bag, the top was not very seasoned, but in the middle of the bag, the puffs were more thoroughly covered with cheese powder. The cheddar flavor is tangy and a little bit funky, like a health food cheese flavor (as opposed to a junk food one). Somewhat reminiscent of powdered cheddar cheese you might have with boxed mac and cheese. The texture of the p... (read more) 3.0/5.0

Laurel Hill Nacho multigrain tortilla chips: Awkwardly sized long, rectangular chips that have a milky cheese flavor, almost like what you might have with boxed mac and cheese. Disappointingly small serving size of 7 chips. Multigrain flavor is not bad, though, and the seasoning had a slight zesty kick. 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's reduced fat cheese puffs: Usually when a brand had a reduced fat version of a snack, there is a full-fat option too. Not so with this bag of Trader Joe's cheese puffs, as far as I know. Less cheese coating than an alternative like Cheetos, but a decent amount of flavor. A solid but messy snack. 3.0/5.0
