Cheetos is turning up the heat this summer with a new snack flavor that promises to be "hotter than ever" – the Flamin’ Hot Smoky Ghost Pepper Puffs.
The puffs have a heat index that rivals the ever-popular Flamin Hot Cheetos by incorporating one of the world’s spiciest peppers.
The puffs have a smoky flavor with a hint of sweetness that Frito-Lay believes will take snackers by surprise.
But, beware of the slow-building heat.

The puffs are available exclusively in Walmart stores nationwide, and on Walmart.com.

The flavor is available through Aug. 14.
