As a (mostly) recovered hot Cheeto addict who gets big, painful cystic acne whenever I indulge in products with milk ingredients, the dairy free flamin’ hot chip that *actually slaps* is my white whale. Nothing has come close, ever, for me. Not until this chip! The Fiery Nacho flavor does have milk ingredients, so I can only speak to the Chile Lime. Obviously it’s going for Takis more than Hot Cheeto, and it does nail the brief for Takis, but it’s the best Flamin Hot Cheeto sub I’ve come across. Think Flamin Hot Limon. Super tongue-curling, mouth-puckering citric tang and a pretty decent bit of heat. I love them, and now I don’t have to make hot and sour soup every time I want this itch scratched. Here’s hoping they do Cheeto style puff version!
