A delicious taste of New Orleans -- CheeWees Review

Disclosure:  I received one or more products in this post in exchange of an honest review.  All opinions are my own.

One thing I quickly learned of my husband after meeting him is that he is a big fan of cheese curls and poofs!  There are a few options on the market to fulfill my husband's cravings for the cheesy little crisps, so I've been lucky!  Little did I know, in our 7 years of marriage we hadn't tried all the options!  We were missing out on Elmer's CheeWees!


I was so pleasantly surprised when I opened the box!  I was told they'd be sending the New Orleans line of CheeWees, but I wasn't expecting so many options!

First I want to start with the Cheese Curls!


With delicious options like Bar-B-Que Cheese Curls and Green Onion, of course the whole family got excited about trying Elmer's CheeWees!  My taste tester (husband) has a strong opinion about quite a few of these flavors.  Here goes........  And I quote, "There is a sweetness."  "Lighter than your typical cheese curl." "A nice kick of jalapeno!" and last, "These have a good crunch!"  "Good balance of hot and cheese!"  My husband usually doesn't have too much to say about the products we review but he is a very happy husband with his CheeWees!  The kids have been snacking too!  They are too quiet when it comes to words though, unless they're asking for more.

To give you an idea of what these cheese curls with a kick of jalapeno look like, feast your eyes on this....


The Mom in the family's favorite part of this snack?  I need you to keep in mind I cannot have these due to a few dietary restrictions (not by choice!!), but I can still have an opinion!  These cheese curls come in 2 sizes of bags!  My family is able to snack from the big bag and take the smaller bag to work in the lunch bag!  Husband has been eating these CheeWees for days now and hasn't asked for something different!  I'd call that a success!


To finish up our review, it's time to talk about Elmer's Popcorn and Peanuts!


My daughter has a love for peanuts!  One of my husband's favorite restaurants gives out peanuts while you wait for your food.  Allyson is on her toes when we are there, eating up all the peanuts, then making sure we take them home!  I cannot tell you how excited she was to have a bad of peanuts show up at the door!  They are salty, easy to open and delicious!

Both popcorn options were a hit as well!  My husband found the caramel popcorn to be sweet and satisfying.  The pieces weren't hard, but a perfect amount of crunch when chewed!  Same can be said for the Cheese Popcorn.  While cheesy popcorn is sometimes rather mushy, this was the the case here!  Delightfully fluffy and tasty!

If you're having an issue deciding what to give out on Halloween or throw at a parade, you need to look at their website!   Delicious options from Elmer's to help your children stay away from the sweet stuff!  If Halloween and parades aren't your scene, you could always send a gift box of CheeWees to your love!


This review is based strictly on my own opinion.  Others may have different opinions or experiences with the products mentioned above.  I was provided samples free of charge by the company or a PR Agency.  I have provided my open and honest opinions.  No other type of compensation was received for this review.
