Premium Cheddar Cheese Powder

This is great to put on popcorn for a cheesy, crunchy treat. Also good to make macaroni and cheese offers a better taste than boxed and doesn't clump, saving $. Very verstile and not salty. Add into beef , potatoe or noodle casseroles.

I grew up eating the blue box. I loved the blue box. I taught my babysitters (two of them!) how to make the blue box when I was a kid. Lately, the blue box has completely failed me. I noticed recently that noodles seemed to be cooking faster than I remembered (I always went by a taste test rather than a timer). So, I checked the cook time (7-9 minutes) and purposely cut that time significantly short (5 minutes). The noodles were still too soft, and after trying to reheat leftovers, they completely disintegrated into a bowl of mush. Like, mashed potato consistency, only softer. And the sauce was bland. I've always tweaked it depending on my feelings for the day. Sometimes more butter if I want it richer. Or more milk if I want it thinner (and greater volume). Lately I've been needing to tweak it more, like adding nutritional yeast, or shredded cheese, or a sprinkling of a salted herb blend. It's just been bland and not lived up to my expectations. So, I started searching for alternatives. I ended up buying this cheese powder, hoping I could replicate the blue box but using quality macaroni noodles. And it worked! Does this product taste exactly like the blue box? not really. It reminds me more of the bunny box. My husband said it was a bit milder than the blue box, but if I'm honest, I think that we are comparing it to our MEMORIES of the blue box, rather than the actual current taste of the blue box. It is milder than I would ultimately love, but it is still yummy and at least gives me the option to continue to make "blue box" mac and cheese without having to suffer through macaroni mush. And, if I want to up the flavor a bit, I can just add a bit more powder! If you are looking to replicate the blue box, here is my suggestion: 1 1/2 c. uncooked macaroni and 2Tbs powder. Cook as directed on blue box (but timed for your macaroni), using butter and milk as you normally would, in the amounts you normally would. Of course you can adjust amounts depending on your tastes/serving needs, but I've found this ratio of macaroni to powder most closely replicates what you would (expect to) get from the blue box. Without macaroni mush.

Yummy, great for those who love cheese but not the calories. I mix this with a small amount of whipped cream cheese and or sour cream for a creamy consistency. Tastes just like the cheese in the boxed Mac and Cheese packages.

This is a handy, versatile, flavorful, and easy to use cheese powder. Smells great, and tastes good out of the package (which is how you would use it on popcorn) The powder comes on a good container, but could use a dessicant pack to help keep it dry. It's easy to make a simple cheese sauce, but you do have to be careful as it can break, just like any other dairy based sauce. I will say that I was happy with the sauce without adding any additional flavor or salt, and I'm sure it will make a great nacho cheese sauce as well. Not sure about the value, but the price seems fair for what you get. Will probably buy again, and would recommend to others.

Great item for long term storage when dairy may not be available. But for now, it's wonderful to have non-perishable powdered cheese in the camping food items. Color and taste are great.

My husband got this to make me some cheddar popcorn and he even bought the popcorn that pops fluffy and round and this stuff is SO GOOD!! So cheesy! Love it!
