Even when following instructions, it seems the ratio is a bit off. I would say less is more with these. Not great for kids who can't tell the difference with texture. My daughter prepares some food as a teen. I thought she wasn't following the instructions and she wasted 3 cups. When I saw her do it, it over flowed in the microwave and was still messy and not cooked well. I thought maybe it was our microwave wattage but it was the amount of liquid. It's good to fill a little less to the fill line. After it's done, then add a little bit more to mix. Also very, very hot & dangerous - so remind kiddos not to eat and touch right away. The packaged bowl may feel warm, but the contents are piping hot. Shelf foods should always be monitored when preparing by teens. Tasted so so..boxed ones are better.

I'm a pretty crunchy-ish mama. But my kiddos love Kraft Mac and Cheese, and these cups make it a super easy lunch or snack time for my little ones. They love the flavor, the melty cheesy goodness and I love the fact there are no artificial flavors, preservatives or dyes.

This is his wife. While I mistakenly purchased thinking these were the boxes, the review is about the quality of the item itself. These are not good in my opinion. Not only are they reheated in plastic, they have a weird texture and do not taste minimally good without additional add ins. with extra cheese and milk, they are okay but still not to the level of the boxes in terms of taste and texture. I understand they are for a quick bite or add on in a snap, but they just aren't good and I think the box version fills that need better. We will just this order of them only as a last resort occasionally.

My kids love these. Super convenient for me to make in a hurry! Fast delivery also.

So easy and quick to prepare! And it tastes great! Ideal for a fast, tasty lunch!

Great snack or can make it

son loves this and easy on the go

Kraft is my son's favorite and once in a while my guilty pleasure.

Easy & quick for snacks & lunches.

A plus is it was on sale when we bought it
