A favorite among me!

These are so good, and they are super cheap! After your first bite of the puffs, you will NEVER ever wan't to stop eating them! They are crispy, but light, with the perfect amount of cheddar, you will feel like you are eating clouds, yummy cheddar corn clouds--not that I have ever tried a cloud, but I dream about it-- so amazingly perfect. They are probably not too good for dieting, I mean you really wont want to stop eating them. So, overall, the bad: Not at all good for dieting, especially because they are really cheap. The good: everything! They are cheap, and they taste so good, way better than other brands of cheesy poufs, and I almost forgot, kids absolutely LOVE them! I would so recommend this to you ( if you are not dieting), your kids, and all of my friends and family if they have not already discovered them. Well, very good luck to you on your purchase of these,if you do decide to purchase them.

So yummy!

Buccaneer Joe's White Cheddar Corn Puffs are so good! I have to stop myself because I could eat a whole bag in one sitting! The puffs are delicate and tender-great for kids or the elderly to chew. They are so soft! The flavor is wonderful. You can really taste the tangy white cheddar in every bite! These corn puffs put the other brands to shame! They are also relatively inexpensive!

Delicious snack!

I have been buying this popcorn at Trader Joe's for a few years now. It is delicious, and a relatively large serving size. It is also inexpensive. My daughter and I both love it, and my mom also got hooked on it. I do find that once you open the bag it gets stale after a few days, but that is usually not a problem since it is hard to stop eating it anyways! It does have a somewhat strong smell, but that is due to the White Cheddar flavor. I like that it is made of "normal" ingredients unlike some snack popcorn, and I am happy to feed it to my daughter as a snack. My store has two flavors- White Cheddar and Sour Cream- so make sure you grab the right bag!

Better than Pirate's Booty! And much cheaper too!

Now, this product is very similar to the product Pirates Booty. It is baked puffed corn meal resembling popcorn and then rolled in white cheddar powder. Though I do enjoy Pirates Booty, I enjoy Trader Joe's variety much more. Pirates Booty is more of an aged white cheddar powder which gives it a very strong cheddar taste, in my opinion. I don't actually like that as much as the Trader Joe's variety which has a less pungent taste. Also you get over twice as much for less than half the price! And because it is puffed corn, not actually popcorn, you can feed it to your babies and it dissolves in their mouth without the actual kernel that they could choke on. I purchase on average about 3 bags a week because that's how much my family of 6 goes through. One problem I was having though was that once you open the bag if you don't eat it quickly enough the puffs do start getting still quickly. I actually have a gallon Ziploc bag designated for these puffs once the bag is opened.

Think Pirates Booty white cheddar puffs, but way better!

The ones that I tried were called The worlds puffiest corn puffs, or something like that, in the white cheddar flavor. These are very good tasting and very satisfying, while still being rather healthy! I like munching on these snacks straight out of the bag, but one of my favorite ways to eat the corn puffs is to dip them in spicy hummus or light whipped cream cheese. To new consumers, I'd just warn you to close the bag tightly, after you finish eating the puffs for the day. The bags are pretty large, and the puffs are crunchy and delicious when they are super fresh!

These corn puffs are dangerous -- and delicious!

I just recently discovered these White Cheddar Corn Puffs from Trader Joe's. Let me tell you, if you're trying to diet or for some reason DON'T want to eat an entire bag of these, I'd recommend not buying them. They are so delicious, there's no way to stop once you start. Plus, they're light and fluffy, so you feel like you're eating air. These are a great alternative to regular popcorn if you have little ones. I went through a phase where I snacked on popcorn a lot, but then my son, who was small at the time, wanted to share, and I was worried about him choking on the kernels. These are a great solution to that problem -- as long as you're OK with sharing. Maybe you should get a bag for you and a bag for everyone else. There really aren't that many snack foods that I rave about, but these really are that simple, light, delicious snack that makes it hard to stop once you've cracked open the bag. So, buy a bag, but don't say I didn't warn you!

Buccaneer Joe's White Cheddar Corn Puffs are so good and cheesy tasting. These are available at Trader Joe's locations. The are readily available on a regular basis. I don't even want popcorn anymore when I have a better alternative. I stash a bag of these in my backpack and take them to the Movies. Buccaneer Joe's White Cheddar Corn Puffs are my go to snack when I want something crunchy, cheesy and tasty without all the guilt.
