If there is one snack I am addicted to it is Cheez-Its. Their sharp cheddar flavor is the perfect snack to grab by the handful whether I am catching up on a new episode of Mindhunter or getting my butt whooped at a game of Scrabble. Original, white cheddar, caramel popcorn Duoz, and the Sweet & Salty snack mix. If it's got Cheez-It in the name, I'm buying. And that includes the new Pizza Hut Stuffed Cheez-it pizza.
