Cotton Candy Cheese Balls Are A Thing And They Look…Interesting
There are certain unspoken laws of food that just make sense, like the fact that apple pie should always be served with a side of vanilla ice cream. But you definitely get into a gray zone when you try to combine the look and feel of a savory treat with a super-sweet flavor. Case in point: Cotton Candy Balls.
This treat has been out for awhile from Herr’s and it’s…hmm. The balls, which were spotted by Instagram account @snackbetch, look almost exactly like cheese balls, just bright blue and, apparently, cotton candy-flavored.
“Herr’s Crunchy and Sweet Cotton Candy Balls! We found these at Big Lots but recently found out that they are also carried at Shop Rite, on Amazon, and some gas stations,” @snackbetch wrote in the caption, before pointing out that “people either love these or hate them.”

Reactions were definitely mixed in the comments. “Skeptical...but curious 🤔 haha,” one wrote. “Hate them. the caramel popcorn is good 🌈🍿though!” another person said. “IMO they’re ok really just taste like sugar not much Cotton candy flavor 😓,” someone else chimed in. Some said their kids loved them, while they hated them—which, fair. Others said they were dying to try them. “I need to find these at Big Lots 😮😋💙💙💙,” one wrote.
So...they're definitely a divisive food. That being said, they seem to be sold out all over online so people clearly like them!
If you want to have a conversation starter at your next bash, definitely pick some of these up. That goes double if kids (or unicorns) will be there. But, if you love cotton candy in its true form, maybe it's best to take a pass.
