Snack-Inspired Macaroni Meals

Cheetos Mac 'n Cheese Appeals to Snackers Who Love Cheesy Flavors

Over the last few years, Cheetos lovers have been treated to a variety of foods made with or inspired by the brand's cheesy snacks and now they will be able to enjoy Cheetos Mac 'n Cheese. The all-new macaroni and cheese product from Cheetos shares the cheesy and fiery flavors that fans have fallen in love with in the form of Bold & Cheesy, Flamin' Hot and Cheesy Jalapeño varieties.

Naturally, the mac and cheese products are "made with authentic Cheetos cheesiness using Chester's Top-Secret Seasoning" and they take the form of corkscrew pasta noodles that take after the shape of Chester's cheetah tail.

With Cheetos Mac 'n Cheese, Rachel Ferdinando, SVP, CMO Frito-Lay North America, says: "We're putting our orange-dusted fingerprints on an at-home staple at a time when home mealtime occasions are on the rise."
