Product Snapshot: Mike-sell’s expanded its ever-evolving line of snacks to include healthier snack options. The Blazin’ Hot Crunchin’ cheese curls consist of a fired-up cheese curl, where the Cheese Crunchin’ cheese curls are made with real Cheddar cheese and offer a crisp cheese flavor. Blazin’ Hot corn chips dial up the heat thanks to a distinctive hot pepper taste, while the Barbeque corn chip is flavored with a dusting of natural hickory smoke and a blend of zesty spices.
