Utz Cheese Balls, Baked Cheddar, 23 oz Barrel | Baked with real cheddar cheese, resealable twist-cap barrel; gluten-free, cholesterol-free, trans-fat-free, Kosher

These are some tasty cheese balls. And there are a lot of them! The container is huge. No problem sharing with this around. The balls are crunchy and taste fresh. They are like other cheese balls which I've eaten - they leave fingers orange and I have to have a napkin close by. Sometimes I will portion these out in a little cup or dish and eat them with a spoon so I don't soil my fingers while I read. But, for some reason they taste better when I eat them with my fingers. Doesn't really make sense to me why. Anyway, they are good. Not through any fault of the cheese balls, but if I eat too many in one sitting, the roof of my mouth gets a little scratched and torn.

Wow! The container for these is HUGE and filled to the top with crunchy yummy cheese balls. Seriously, this barrel will last me at least until Christmas. It's at least a 2-gallon barrel -- about twice as big as I thought it would be. The quality is super, too. Very fresh, "use by" date far enough into the future to make it worthwhile. Will definitely order these again if I can manage to work my way through my first order of these. They're really REALLY good and priced well for the quantity. Solid 5 stars.

Fresh, great tast

Utz Cheese Balls are absolutely the best cheese flavored snack you can buy. Made with real cheese and gluten free, these bad boys come in a 1lb 7 oz tub; perfect for parties, snack time or just pigging out. The flavor is easily superior to other brands I've tried. If you love anything and everything cheese then you will not be disappointed.

I grew up with a Planters cheese ball addiction and even after all these years, I can recall the exact flavor, texture, and balance of saltiness off the top of my head. Til this day, I still don't understand why they discontinued them. Seriously, they were the BEST snack I ever had growing up! We searched long and far for a Planters replacement, and found 4 options. We lined them up and had a Planters Substitute taste test. Unfortunately, Utz came dead last of the 4 brands we tried. It has an oddly sweet aftertaste and the texture is grainy. The cheese balls aren't crisp, but a more dense crunch with tiny bits of hard cornmeal in them. Safeway/Vons carries their own brand cheese balls and they're almost the same as Planters. Crunchy and light, with that perfect cheesy flavor. If you don't have a Safeway or Vons near you, Walgreens store brand (I believe it's called Nice!) makes their own as well, and also tastes about the same. However, Utz just didn't cut it for us. It sat there until it got hard and stale, then we ended up tossing the vast majority of the huge jar.

No, they do not taste like the long lost Planters cheese balls. You, my fellow Planters cheese balls lovers, will be disappointed if you compare these to them. They're too big and a little dry, sort of similar to a cheetos puffed texture but with better flavor. But they are excellent. Better than Walgreen's brand which has been my stand by in the past for the random cheese ball craving, and much better than the new Wise cheese balls. .

Do I honestly need to review these? Who doesn't like cheese puffs? They arrived in new condition, the tub was sealed and the puffs were fresh. I actually bought two of these: one for myself and the other for my boyfriend. They both lasted maybe three days, because once you start eating them it is insanely difficult to stop. Be warned! Also you get A LOT of puffs in each tub. One pound is actually quite a lot when the puffs weigh so little. I actually found these at my local grocery too, but let's be honest. I'd rather buy them anonymously because I won't buy just one at a time, and I will probably buy at least two a month. I don't want my cashier to wonder if I have an addiction.

Crunchy, seem high quality, but just don't like the taste at all.

I haven't enjoyed Utz snack products since I moved to the UK in 2006. When I saw them available on Amazon I was overjoyed! Extortionately expensive? Yes! Do I care? No! They are absolute cheddar crunchy heaven. A 10-star product endorsement! Thank you for importing then Amazon.

Tienen buen sabor, solo que NO se lo den a los niños/as porque se podrían asfixiar.

Muy buen sabor !!! Pero caros

100% recommend!!!!

Todo muy bien con el producto. Es una buena botana. El balance entre el precio y el producto, está muy bien. Si las volvería a comprar, mas porque fue un buen regalo que le gustó mucho a mi pareja. El único problema fue que se tardó días extra en llegar, básicamente fueron 15 días en total, cuando se suponía que iba a ser una semana.
