What makes Spicy Queso special
Flavor Profile & Ingredients
Our Spicy Queso Funyuns start with a base of enriched cornmeal that’s shaped into those distinctive rings you know and love. We coat each ring with a carefully crafted blend of queso cheese seasoning, onion powder, and a proprietary spice mix that delivers consistent heat without overwhelming the creamy cheese flavor.
The 150-calorie serving size gives you plenty of rings to satisfy your craving while keeping portions mindful. We use real dairy ingredients in our queso seasoning to create that authentic melted cheese taste, combined with jalapeño and chili pepper extracts for the spicy kick. Every ingredient is selected to maximize flavor while maintaining the light, crispy texture that makes our original Funyuns so addictive.
Nutrition Facts & Serving Size
Each 1 oz (28g) serving of Funyuns Spicy Queso contains approximately 150 calories, making it easy to track your snacking. A single serving provides about 9 grams of fat, 15 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of protein.
The bag contains multiple servings, and we’ve included a resealable closure to help you portion your snacks throughout the week. Sodium content is approximately 270mg per serving, which contributes to the bold, savory flavor profile. While our Spicy Queso rings contain dairy-based cheese flavoring, they’re made without artificial flavors or colors, letting the real ingredients shine through in every crunchy bite.
Storage & Freshness Tips
Store your Funyuns Spicy Queso in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve maximum crunchiness. Once opened, use the resealable top to seal the bag tightly after each snacking session—this prevents moisture from softening the rings and keeps the spicy queso seasoning at peak potency.
For best flavor and texture, we recommend consuming within 7-10 days of opening, though the resealable design helps maintain freshness longer than traditional chip bags. If you’re planning a party or gathering, keep the bags sealed until just before serving. The rings are already seasoned to perfection, so there’s no need to add extra salt or toppings—just open, pour into a bowl, and enjoy the 150-calorie serving size straight from the bag.
