Keto Cheetos. We used to eat them all the time and love Cheetos. Cunchy, packed with flavor, and are sure to be a favorite snack!

One of my absolute favorite snacks. They were delicious, cheesy, and crunchy. Definitely in the top three. When I was in a supermarket or gas station I used to grab those little bags of them for a snack.

When going to a low-carb/keto way of eating is not eating snack (read junk) foods anymore, one of the biggest changes we all make. This meant no more yummy Cheetos for me. Not having them, way better for you. Just check out the nutritional info and the ingredients list if you don’t believe me.

They do take some time and patience but these keto Cheetos are not overly hard to make. It’s probably that with that thought in mind, best you go into it. The process is what you have to be careful of but the ingredient list isn’t crazy or long.

Freezing of the cheese is the key to this recipe. Be for the time timeframe mentioned in the recipe, sure to do this!

Because I promise they will be worth it so take the time needed to make them.
