Kraft says: Kraft Easy Mac Macaroni and Cheese Cups make it easy to enjoy delicious macaroni and cheese anytime. The microwaveable cups cook quickly and are full of creamy, cheesy flavor.

Bill says: I have enjoyed Kraft Mac and Cheese since I was an embryo so I am quite biased. I also have very little frame of reference because it has been awhile since I frequented microwavable meals. This means my rating of 4 stars has very low validity and reliability.

When Kraft recently came out with the mini-microwave version, I was quite excited. Tastes just like the real thing and is low maintenance to prepare. I would probably need to eat three of them to actually keep me from gnawing on my fingers within 10 minutes though. Preparing 3 would be high maintenance.

I believe that each one costs about 50 cents. For Kraft, this was brilliant because the full box only costs $1.09. For a little more packaging cost, they probably have a lot more profit margin from these little guys. This is somewhat worrisome for me since Bob Kraft owns the New England Patriots, so I am indirectly helping my rival.

This entry is proof why blogging is dangerous for me and I can never be allowed to have my own as I will spend all day and night working on it.

I agree with your rating. For something that’s so quick and easy to make, it’s surprisingly good.

Yes, but what’s IN that stuff? Or does that negate the whole point of comfort food? I admit to being a fan myself, but something about that eerily fluorescent orange glow worries me.

Mmmm…noodles and mysterious orange powder. Delicious.

Luckily for me, I’m not the type to eat tons of mac and cheese in a sitting, so these cups look like a good idea.

Once upon a time, I was a drunk college student. And as a drunk college student, I’d be like, “Wow, I want to eat Easy Mac but I don’t have a bowl and it’s too hard to measure water.”

Thankfully, these bowls have solved those problems. When I saw the commercial on TV, I was like, “woah, I wish I was a drunk college student so I could eat this. That would be perfect.”

I totally don’t want to be a drunk college student for any other reason though. Being a working adult is way better.

I am in high school and get a really small lunch break, like 10 minutes. So easy mac cups are a good food that tastes good and is ready really fast. But i wish there was more in there, i eat a lot and that is only a “hold-down-the-fort” lunch if you know what i mean.

Ladies and gentlemen, Easy Mac Cups are awesome. That is all.

FYI, Bob Kraft doesn’t own Kraft foods, Phillip Morris does.

Add a 3 oz can of tuna (drained) for a quick & tasty tuna mac

I would have to agree with the 4 stars as well. As somewhat of a Mac n’ Cheese Connoisseur, I was pleasantly surprised with the new addition to the Easy Mac family.

In addition to no longer having to actually get your own bowl (UGHHH!) and guesstimate the amount of water, they also taste much more like the “real thing”.

The noodles come out perfect and there is an adequate amount of cheese, given you use the recommended time and water level markings on the bowl. I will be stockpiling these by the tens on a weekly basis.

This is a good snack!

Though the power is gross!

My kids love these for afternoon snacks when they get home from school, or between lunch and dinner. Even my 6 year old can make them without adult supervision - just open, take out the cheese powder pack, fill water to the line, push 3min 30 sec on our microwave, empty in the cheese and stir. Sometimes we add a touch of margarine, or cream cheese to make it creamier - I like the suggestion of adding tuna - my kids won’t eat tuna, but I love it. Maybe even throw in a tablespoon of frozen peas too….mac, tuna, and peas…I’m getting hungry now….

If you like garlic and Parmesan cheese, you’d probably love the Roasted Garlic Parmesan flavor of the Easy Mac Cup. Note: It is more suited for adult tastes than for kids.
