Chee Wees was completely destroyed from hurricane Katrina and they decided to rebuild and come back. Come back is exactly what they did. When I received my box from Elmers Chee Wees I could not wait to dig in and try them all out. They come in 5 different flavors, barbecue, jalapeno, hot n spicy, green onion and original.
We have never personally been to New Orleans but would love to go one time. When the box came I couldn’t wait to try them, and of course Devon. When it comes to Devon we are always looking for some good snacks. And getting the chance to give this honest review I was more than happy too, these are baked cheese curls and can i just say Devon loved them. He gets a snack before he goes to bed every night and those are what he picks. He even packs a bag for his lunch. They are a corn snack that’s better and less fat than most snacks
So many different one to choose from :
Elmer’s Original Cheese Chee Wees
Elmer’s Green Onion Chee Wees
Elmer’s Bar-B-Que Chee Wees
Elmer’s Hot-N-Spicy Chee Wees

We have never tasted these before now and they taste so great,they are baked cheese doodles, my son wanted them all for his self. the best part is there were some peanuts and some cheese popcorn. He wanted nothing to do with these he left them for us and the carmel corn.
The five brothers invented a new product — the cheese curl. The curls, which were originally manufactured and sold as corn curls, were eventually flavored with cheese and became a very big seller for the company. The brothers also came up with many new candy products such as Mint Bubblets, Heavenly Hash and Gold Brick Candy.
They were all simply delicious and we loved each and every one of them, I did not try the hot and spicy ones or the Jalapeno ones.
In 2005, New Orleans was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. The storm’s 100 MPH winds and subsequent 10′ flood waters destroyed the entire Port Street facility where CheeWees are produced. It took approximately 16 months to rebuild the facility and replace all the machinery and equipment used in the plant. During this time Elmer’s Fine Foods was closed and unable to produce any of it’s delicious snack foods. In January of 2007, the business re-opened and the company website was launched. Now people everywhere are once again enjoying Elmer’s CheeWees—one of New Orleans traditional favorites.
Today, Alan, Stephen, and Paul Elmer are the fifth generation of the Elmer family to work in the food manufacturing business in New Orleans. They produce CheeWees using the same quality standards that their grandfather used over 70 years ago. CheeWees are sold throughout Louisiana and Mississippi and sales are expanding into additional southern states.
