Mac Yourself | Delicious Cheddar Cheese Sauce Mix | Perfect Cheese Powder for Macaroni, Nachos, Veggies and More | 9.3 oz

Ok, so I am giving this 5 stars because it accomplishes what it sets out to do...make Mac n cheese. The taste is ok, it’s not amazing but it’s not bad. My kids are it without complaint. It doesn’t taste exactly like Kraft but it isn’t Kraft so no surprise there. We live in an area where we don’t have access to any type of macaroni and cheese so this works well when we can’t get our shipment in. Velveeta, Annie’s and Kraft taste better but it is better than the generic brands. I hope this review helps.

Awesome it tastes exactly like blue box Mac n cheese best of all you can make as little or as much as you need/want.

I expected so much more from Kraft.. Not sure what I mean exactly. But I bought this in hopes that using it with various melted cheeses would add a stronger flavor to whatever my dish, such as Mac & Cheese homemade. Honestly, there is little change in my cheese sauce using it. The flavor doesn't seem to me to be as strong as the packets you get in Kraft Mac & Cheese in a box. Now I understand that probably isn't likely as they are already manufacturing it, you would expect it has to be the same product. Not sure why it seems different, but it does to me. I gave it an extra star, 4 stars, only because it doesn't make sense to me that it could be a different product, giving Kraft the benefit of the doubt.

My favorite Mac and Cheese

Let me start out by saying that I wasn’t buying this to substitute or make my own sauce, I just like to add a little extra to what they give you in the box. And I’m not that picky about what kind of cheese powder it is specifically, I’ve used a few different kinds and each are sufficient to up the cheesiness a little bit. I read the non-glowing reviews of this product and still wanted to give it a chance, thinking that maybe these reviewers just had very high, hard-to-meet expectations, and I would still be perfectly happy. Ha. I was wrong. The references to sawdust and flour in the other reviews were not far off. They clearly need something to dye orange in order for you to think there is any resemblance to cheese flavor whatsoever. Because in truth, there is not. The only discernible flavor is salt, but salt with a chalky aftertaste. I’m glad I only mixed it in a bowl of macaroni, instead of ruining the entire pot. Oh, and the foil seal was not sealed at all, just completely loose and inside the cap when I unscrewed it to peel it off. In fairness, it didn’t look as if it had been tampered with, it looked totally intact, but just like it had never been attached to the jar. So, I don’t know which is worse, that the quality control is so poor that they aren’t sealing their products properly, or the possibility that it could have been opened, tampered with, and still sent out. I rolled the dice, and it was not worth the $9 paid for it, as it’s going straight into the garbage. I know some reviews said they or their spouse were thrilled with/can’t get enough of this, but I have to assume that there is something seriously flawed with their tastebuds. As someone with a pretty low bar in terms of flavor expectations, this was awful. Literally any other choice in powdered cheese you make is probably going to be better. If you’re like me and still wanna try it, best of luck!

This product is fine - definitely not as good as Kraft powder. It doesn't combine well together by itself, so I recommend putting the sauce ingredients (butter, milk, powder) in a pot with a bit of flour (I did about 2tsp for one serving), and stir often over medium-low heat until it reaches your desired thickness. Then add to cooked noodles. This seemed to be the best way to get full coverage and not just a vague cheesy water. I also recommend using unsalted butter or a combo of unsalted/salted because there is so much salt taste already in the powder. I probably will not re-purchase, but I can make do with this one bottle.

Great product and service! Highly recommended!

Just like the box taste. Yum
