Cheesy salty crunchy goodness

A favorite snack in our house. We love pirates booty. It's addictive. It's perfectly salty and cheesy. We like the crunch and the lightness. It's not filling, which is probably a bad thing as we tend to eat too much. I appreciate it coming in individual packages to give to my kids for snacks or school lunches. It's a weekly staple in Our house.

A light cheesy snack that both me and my son love

This has been a staple snack in our house for years. They're like crunchy and have the perfect cheesy flavor without feeling super heavier greasy like some other snack foods. My son loves them and honestly so do I lol. I also like that they're made without a bunch of artificial ingredients so they feel like a better option when I'm looking for a quick toddler snack or something easy to throw into a bag for our outings. Even though they make a little bit of a mess, my son loves them, and I will always restock when I'm out.

Verified Purchase

I'm addicted to PB

I'm addicted to Pirates Booty. I am unhappy that my area Sam's Clubs quit carrying it. I went though this with them before when they quit. They said it was a good seller and they would keep it in stock. Now all they have are the little 4 oz lunch box size. Guess I'll have to keep ordering it online or get it somewhere else.

Better choice than cheetos

These are a better option than white cheddar cheetos, however 18 oz is more than enough for kiddos. They can get a little stale, but I don't think they care that much. They have a good flavor and better ingredients.

Individual Bags 10 Pieces. Ripoff!

My kids loved pirate booty, we usually would purchase the large bag and it would go quick!. I decided to purchase the individual packages and I opened it and saw only about 10 pieces in the bag. Total ripoff. Worst than a Doritos bag!. This picture is right after I opened it.

I'll stick with my Cheese Doodles

I'm a Wise Cheese Doodles girl, but thought I'd try these since they seemed similar and I was out of doodles. Because it's a rice/corn mixture, I didn't like the texture at all. It didn't have a very strong cheese flavor either. Given the price, I expected more from this product. I can say that I tried it, but will not be buying it again

New recipe and Owner destroyed the best snack

My whole family used to love these snacks. One of the original Gluten Free options that was so good. Hershey bought it and changed the recipe. They use seed oil now to increase profits, and the Booty now tastes like chemicals and melted plastic. We bought them this week, opened the bag, and no one in our family could eat more than 3. Went straight in the trash. They are a different texture and don't taste like cheese or salty anymore. These taste toxic. We will never buy these again and going to look very closely at hershey products moving forward.

New Recipe is awful

What has been our favorite snack for a decade now gives us a stomachache. Tastes different, texture is different, there's more oil and flavor is just..off. They also took the packaging which was once fun, colorful, and memorable and changed it to something bland and boring. What a shame.

Pirate's booty recipe change - terrible now

Pirate's Booty used to be cheesy and delicious. They clearly changed the recipe a few months ago though, as now it tastes like overly salted styrofoam. It's overly dry with no real cheesy taste like it used to have. For awhile, it was just every other bag that tasted off… now it's every bag. I just threw out my last bag and will not be buying again.
