Oh man, new favourite snack. So delicious, I've eaten a whole bag in one sitting which feels wrong, but also very right, haha. Anyone else tried these? They kind of taste like if you took the cheese powder off of cheesies and crammed it into balls, only better? And there's no weird stuff added to them which is nice.
I need to figure out how to make them if it's possible to do at home (anyone know?) There's cheddar, gouda and jalapeno, they're all pretty delicious.
Nutritional info for all of the flavours is here:

Sounds like since it has Moon in the title that it is likely dehydrated cheese as most space food is. Perhaps you can look at the ingredients closely to make sure there are no processing agents and then go for a dehydrator to try yourself?
SOUNDS amazing, btw, I'm so looking for these at the store... Where did you find them?
P.S. I used to lick my doritos before I ate them, and never really even wanted to eat them...I just wanted to stuff, so this sounds right up my alley!0 -
Wonder what this Vegetable coloring is as ingredient?0

Annatto is an orange‑red condiment and food coloring derived from the seeds of the achiote tree. It is often used to impart a yellow or orange color to foods, but sometimes also for its flavor and aroma. Per: Wikipedia
Geeez...

Good question @itcphotog , I don't typically eat processed foods, but it looks like they've made it a point to use natural/regular cheese ingredients for the most part so I'm not too worried about it. Looks like the jalapeno kind has no colouring added though.
@KnitOrMiss they say they use "patented technology" to remove the liquid, but I actually do own a food dehydrator so I think a food experiment is definitely in order, I'll do it soon and report back here!
I live in Ontario, Canada and I found them at Denninger's. The website says they're a new company so distribution is currently a bit limited, but it does list all the places that carry it and hopefully more will soon. You can also order from them online too, apparently.0 -

If you look on a block of orange cheddar cheese, it will most likely list annatto as an ingredient as well; it's what they use to make it orange. It's a natural ingredient used for coloring, kind of like you could use turmeric to turn something yellow/orange or beets to turn something red...0 -

I was thinking a food dehydrator too! I would think it depends on whether your dehydrator uses warmth or not. We're food geeks around here and like to watch the Alton Brown show "Good Eats," and he has an episode where he makes a simple cool air dehydrator to make jerky with. That might be worth a shot if a warm air one makes the cheese funky. Anyhoo, YUM! I'm going to have to give those a try!0 -

Yup, I thought of the box fan/air filter Alton Brown dehydrator, too!!! LOL I just don't know how it would work with dairy. LOL0 -
This would be a binge food for me. I have to stay away. Too much like a cheeto.0

yeah if you like cheesy snacks, ideally make sure you can spare 350 calories in your day because that's what's in the bag, and if you're like me you will eat the whole thing :P0

Exactly. Lol0

I do occasionally. Some people might not find that "keto" enough, but I can fit them in to my eating plan. Plus they contain gluten. I have been tested and don't have a gluten allergy and have noticed no ill effects from consuming it.0 -
$5 for 2oz is too expensive. I put a large pinch of parmesan on some parchment paper and nuke it till it bubbles. NomNOM!
I hope this helps,
