National Cheese Doodle Day on March 5th marks an annual celebration where fingers turn a cheesy orange as we snack on these flavorful treats! Found all across the country, these cheddar cheese-coated snacks come in puffed or crunchy, fried or baked. They also come in single-serving or jumbo-sized packaging.


The actual inventor of Cheese Doodles is under debate. Generally, the credit goes to a man named Morrie Yohai who made a variety of extruded snack foods in the 1940s for his family's company called Old London Foods. Other sources show patents for similar products in the 1930s and still other competing accounts in Wisconsin and New Orleans as well.


I chose these today since my grandkids love them!

extra Story: While working at the dentist we got a phone call from a Dad who wanted to know if we could see his daughter who had orange teeth.
turns out she was a Camp counselor all summer and she ate a lot of 'cheetos. Once we deep cleaned her teeth she was back to normal. Moral of the story....Make sure you brush your teeth well at the end of the day even if you are at Camp!

I like Cheetos, just plain.

I like the Cheeto puffs too but rarely buy them.
