Mac & Cheese Got a Clue

When I was little Kraft Macaroni & Cheese was a staple in our house. I mean, we ate this stuff all the time. The problem was (besides the fact that it’s all processed that is) that it required what I remember to be 6 tablespoons of butter. 6 tablespoons! That is a LOT of butter for 1 box of Mac & Cheese. As I got older and started to make it on my own I slowly started to lower the amount of butter I put in and I found a good amount was 3 tablespoons, or HALF the amount the box said to add. Granted it’s still 3 tablespoons of butter, but it’s less.

Well, I’m happy to say that Mac & Cheese finally got a clue. I think it’s probably been changed for a few years, I’m not totally sure because I hadn’t eaten it for so long, but my husband was craving it the other day and when looking at how much of which ingredients to put in I notice the number 6 was suspiciously, and happily missing from the box. Instead of requiring 6 tablespoons of butter it called for 3 tablespoons of butter.

Now I’m not saying this is the most healthy thing to eat, or that you should even eat Mac & Cheese at all, but I was extremely happy with the progress and effort some companies are making to at least make their products a bit healthier. I’m really glad they got a clue!
