If you're a fan of Cheez Balls (not sure who isn't), then boy oh boy do I have news for you: Planters is introducing a Cheez Powder that'll make everything taste like the classic '90s snack. Sprinkle it on pizza! Your grilled cheese! Some fried chicken!
But unfortunately for us all, we can't just load our grocery carts with Cheez Powder. It's part of a sweepstakes. You have to comment or tweet @MRPEANUT using the #CheezBallContest hashtag and explain how you'd use the seasoning. And your chance starts right now—the contest runs between Tuesday, August 20, and Sunday, September 1. According to the press release, 350 folks will score the limited-edition shakers.
Now if you *really* wanna ensure you get a taste, you'll need to stop by NYC's Cheez Ball pop-up. MR. PEANUT is partnering with the Made from Scratch food truck for a menu of Cheez Powder covered fare, including Mac & Cheez, Powder Poppers, Gooey Gouda Grilled Cheese, and more. If you're in New York (or traveling here for this very reason!), watch out for the NUTmobile. It'll be parked at Astor Place on Wednesday, August 21 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
They're also passing out Cheez Balls at the event, because oh yeah, btw, fyi, they're back! For good this time!
"After seeing fans’ excitement last year when Cheez Balls returned, we knew we had to find a way for Cheez Balls to stay," brand manager Samantha Hess said in a statement. "To celebrate Cheez Balls being back, we’re giving fans more of the iconic flavor they’re obsessed with so they can enjoy the cheezy flavor on any food."
Those iconic 2.75-ounce canisters will be sold at grocery stores nationwide for $2.49. Time to stock up!
