Yahoo Finance Kraft Debuts Hot Pink Mac and Cheese for Valentine's Day — and It Tastes Like Candy
Kraft Foods
This Valentine's Day, Kraft is introducing a new mac and cheese that is sweet to say the least.
Forget chocolate or strawberries, Kraft is spreading the love with candy-flavored mac and cheese. The limited-edition noodles have the same cheesy flavor as the original, but with an extra candy packet that turns the mac and cheese a bright pink color and adds a dusting of sweetness.
Kraft announced the Candy Mac on their Instagram page, and like any controversial new food, fans had a lot to say in the comments. Many people were super intrigued commenting, "Omg! I need to know what this tastes like. 😍," and "WOW I need this in my life STAT 💘." While others were pretty uneasy about the idea. "This makes me so uncomfortable," one user said.
