Last year I had this Hot Cheetos Cozy Corn at Disneyland that I still dream about. It was the perfect level of spice and crunch and was one of my favorite snacks I had on the entire trip. So I figured, let’s make this one at home. It is easier to make that you would expect and it is so delicious.
A few things about this recipe, it was advertised as and Elote situation, however, the corn was not roasted, so I chose to boil mine. Also, they don’t say Cheetos at any point but we all know that its Cheetos. Also, assembly tip, roll the corn in the Cheeto powder, don’t press it on. The oils in the Cheeto dust make it clump easy and you won’t have an even coat if you pat it on.
