Macaroni and cheese has certainly come a long way! Kraft Easy Mac Macaroni and Cheese is a godsend for parents who really don't want their kids cooking, but also don't want them snacking on junk. Until very recently, pasta didn't cook up very well in a microwave. Kraft has figured out how to make the noodles just soft enough without falling apart when stirred.

Kraft Easy Mac Macaroni and Cheese only has 6 grams of fat, but does contain 40 grams of carbohydrates. The carbohydrate count makes it less than ideal as an everyday snack and it probably isn't the best choice for lunch or dinner every day.

The Kraft Easy Mac Macaroni and Cheese single-serve pouches each contain a pre-measured amount of uncooked elbow macaroni and cheese powder. The amount of powder in each pouch far exceeds the proportion of powder in a whole meal-sized box of traditional Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. The extra powder means the bowl of macaroni and cheese turns out to be extra cheesy.
Kraft Easy Mac Macaroni and Cheese has been tested at least 100 times at our house by my nineteen year old son. He gives it 5 stars for ease of preparation and taste.
