It now offers a shaker container that holds up to one pound of cheese powder that the signature taste can be added to anything imaginable.

The company offers its own suggestions of topping it on top of fresh popcorn or blended with water to create a creamy sauce that can be added on pasta or vegetables. The authentic Kraft cheese flavor encourages consumers to explore creative recipes or even add more cheesiness to their Macaroni & Cheese.
