12 Weird Cheetos Variants

Cheetos--they're nature's perfect food. Still, people try to improve nature's design and have succeeded, advancing the culinary wisdom of humanity. Here are 12 unconventional ways to cook and serve Cheetos.

1. Deep fried Cheetos! Tom Pizzica of the Park Slope Chip Shop in Brooklyn deep fries everything, including these Cheetos.

2. Marshmallow treats...flavored with Cheetos! Becky McKay made Rice Krispie treats, but replaced the Rice Krispies with Cheetos.

3. Cheetos donuts! To mark National Donut Day (an important religious holiday), Donut Prince in Burbank, California made donuts with dulce de leche and Flamin' Hot Cheetos. That Cheetos flavor, by the way, has sent people to the hospital.

4. Caramel-coated Cheetos are popularly known as "coyote droppings." I think you can see why. Instructables member Puero made these with corn syrup. Just don't eat one offered to you by a practical joker.

5. Cheetos macarons! The Macaron Parlour on Manhattan is dedicated to that sweet cookie. They've got a vast number of varieties, including one that's flavored with Cheetos.

6. Cheetos ice cream! Although we all use Cheetos as a garnish for ice cream sundaes, they can also go into the ice cream itself! Becky McKay chopped Cheetos and chocolate into her ice cream recipe!

7. Chocolate-covered Cheetos! But Ms. McKay didn't stop there! She also melted chocolate baking bark--that's a sheet of chocolate that breaks easily for baking use. Then she dipped Cheetos in to make the perfect breakfast meal.

8. Chocolate chip Cheetos cookies! Christina_S added whole Cheetos to her favorite double chocolate chip cookie recipe and served them with ice cream.

9. Hot Cheetos-crusted fried mozzarella sticks! Zach Wilkins and Jason Medina made a Tabasco sauce egg wash and used it to bond crushed Hot Cheetos to mozarella sticks. Then they deep fried these delicious little heart attacks.

10. Cheetos grilled cheese sandwiches! Michelle made this classy-looking sandwich with homemade sourdough semolina bread and provolone cheese. 

11. Macaroni and cheese Cheetos pie! Kansas City BBQ Source posted a recipe for mac-and-cheese pie that uses Cheetos. Now all you need to add is chocolate syrup.

12. Cheetos quiche! Cheetos are the mark of the refined gourmand. This vegetarian quiche from Pacificlectic uses gruyere cheese and chanterelle--a fancy-shmancy fungus.

It is all so very "Only in America" and kitch in the truest sense of the word; expensive and tasteless. He liked it and that is all that matters. I feel no urge to see it and cannot understand why so many people do.

The man lacked imagination and could have added some cherubs or pixies, etc.. 0r England is probably still laughing since he did end up with most of what Davis owned in life and obviously didn't advise on style and grace as well as refrain from offering moral opinions. He was not going to spoil the fun.

I think it's not too late to add some angels and fairies........... Maybe the family dog or why not Mr England. Only in America.

amazing, a little tacky but I guess he'll be remembered.
After all the whole point of an epitaph is for the deceased to be remembered, and it's common practice around the world - many of the World Wonders are essentially epitaphs (pyramids of Giza-Egypt, Taj Mahal in Agra-India)

To the comment who said this sort of grave was something you'd see "only in America": Ever been to an Italian cemetery? Tackiest things I've ever seen, especially if the people are rich. Americans don't have a lock on takcy.

I think it is great! Even if some think he was vain in only having statues of himself & his wife, it still leaves a lasting memorial to the craftsmanship of the carving of the marble and granite. A dying artform. A piece of history to be preserved.

I agree with Mary. This is a bittersweet story of a monument to a unique life. As a lover of oddities and uniqueness, I'm glad to see stuff like this around. Besides, I sort of sympathize Mr. Davis' feelings toward his neighbors. While I don't hate mine, I live in a place where the homeowners association enforces uniformity with an iron fist. How I would love to build something big and brash like this just to be different!

Funny how everyone sees this as tacky and american. What I see is someone that was devoted to his wife, and the life that he shared with her.
Is love so dead in this world these days?

Pierter,

No most of the US is not this wierd. Only in Kansas.
I've lived there and the wierd people of California have nothing on the wierd red necks of Kansas. This is really strange and a huge waste of time and money.
Please do not judge the entire U.S. on Kansas.
Please. No, really.

It is fascinating-you get to see them at various
ages. I am surprised that no ghost stories have been linked to it(or are there?)
At first glance, it looks like an odd grave featuring
a dinner party or something like that.

I think it's a good work of history. If a guy wanted to spend all his money on a memeroil of different stages of their marrige that meant something to him and only him then let him spend his money on it i would diffinaly go see the gravesite.

I think it is a beautiful, loving tribute to his wife. It's not about his taste so much as it is about his heart. It is also a great work of art--not in design--but in the carving of the stone. That kind of workmanship is hard to find and disappearing fast. He earned his money. He had the right to "burn" his money any way he saw fit. I think he did a great job and left an unusual, lasting treasure. Libraries are everywhere. Stuff like this isn't. The small town should just take the tourists dollars and shut their traps. He was in a no win situation with them.

I AM SURPRISED AT PEOPLE THINKING THIS TRIBUTE TO A MAN'S LOVE FOR HIS WIFE IS WEIRD. THEY HAD NO CHILDREN TO LEAVE ANYTHING TO. HE IMMORTALIZED HIS WIFE. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL AND TOUCHING MARBLE MONUMENT. I WAS THERE IN 1957, WHEN FIRST MARRIED. HIS ANCESTORS ARE THERE. I NEVER FORGOT THE FEELING OF A GREAT LOVE OF A MAN TO HIS BELOVED WIFE.
