About Pirate's Booty
Pirate's Booty makes puffed corn-and-rice snacks built around real cheddar cheese, launched in 1987 as an alternative to cheese puffs made with hard-to-pronounce ingredients. Now part of Hershey's salty snacks lineup.
Acquired by B&G Foods in 2013, then by The Hershey Company in 2018, where it now sits within Hershey's salty snacks portfolio.
