noodle-shaped piece of bold, flavorful cheesiness.”
~ quote from Mr. Macaroni & Cheese Cracker
The cracker has spoken! If your feelin’ kinda naughty and want to (very temporarily) buck against your dedication to 100% healthy eating, this is the part where you close your eyes and pretend not to pay attention when I tell you these darling crackers contains trans fats and MSG. Now excuse me while I (cautiously) eat some naturally and artificially flavored goodness that is nothing like the salty, dried-out experience of a square Cheez-It.
This is the deal; it’s real plain and simple and doesn’t require a lot of explaining. Mac & Cheese Crackers are the best cheese-inspired crackers I’ve tasted. They’re definitely the cheesiest and go down surprisingly smooth. No choking or hacking required. Cheez-Its and Cheese Nips make me so thirsty that I’d drink a puddle of contaminated rain water if there was nothing else available, but Mac & Cheese Crackers are different. You can leisurely sip on some water as you damn near lick the fingerprints off your fingers from the cheddar cheesy experience. (also in Mild Cheddar and White Cheddar varieties)
The baked cracker is so high on itself that it actually comes with a Taste Guarantee. If you don’t like it better than the leading cheese cracker, just get your money back.
There’s only one drawback. Macaroni & Cheese Crackers are not as sturdy as their square competitors. With all the broken pieces and crumbling going on at the bottom of the box, they’re obviously a bit fragile.

YIKES, not for me. All this stuff always looks good but can’t rationalize it. Rather have my cookie!
You are always the “brave one” testing these. I can see how the family loved them!

Well of course he said that! As if I blow things out of proportion around here. They’ll be no cheesy crackers for YOU, woman! You’ve just been cheese-balled.
