"Boxes of Kraft mac and cheese have helped many Americans get meals on the table quickly. The brand has spruced up its portfolio with a range of flavors, and one of our writers sampled and ranked them to help make shopping decisions easier. Unexpectedly, Kraft's Thick 'N Creamy flavor was a disappointment. Though the name might suggest that this item offers more of what is found in a classic mac and cheese package, this box of noodles is better left on the shelf."
"The contents include a similar packet of cheese and the expected set of cooking instructions. This weak pasta didn't offer anything more than the original flavor, however. While the cheesy noodles aren't necessarily bad, the subtle difference between this advertised thick and creamy version and the original recipe is nothing to write home about. Of course, as with any store-bought meal, contents can be doctored up, and this mac and cheese is no exception."
Kraft Thick 'N Creamy mac and cheese closely resembles the original Kraft recipe and fails to deliver a noticeably thicker or creamier texture. The box includes the same cheese packet and standard cooking instructions as other Kraft offerings. Testers found the pasta weak and the flavor difference subtle and underwhelming rather than distinct or superior. The meal remains edible but unimpressive for those seeking a richer experience. Enhancement suggestions include adding Fontina or mascarpone, evaporated milk, cream cheese, or sausage. Breadcrumbs or broken potato chips can add desired crunch and texture.
