It\u2019s not often that you genuinely have no idea what a snack food is going to taste like (or why it even exists in the first place), but this review gave me that dubious pleasure\u2026 and as it turns out, not many others.<\/p>\n<h3>How are they?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kraftmcgummies2.jpeg?resize=600%2C565&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Frankford Kraft Macaroni  Cheese Gummies Plate\" title=\"kraftmcgummies2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"565\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These do not, in fact, actually taste like macaroni and cheese. Nor are they supposed to. If you\u2019re a more reasonable person than I am, you might now be breathing a sigh of relief, but I found this disappointing. Van Leeuwen\u2019s recent (and bizarre) Kraft Macaroni &#038; Cheese ice cream has been widely described along the lines of \u201cHuh, this really does somehow taste cheesy and creamy and salty\u2026 and honestly pretty good,\u201d so why couldn\u2019t these be like that too!? But, for better or worse, their flavor is fruity\u2014tangerine-y, but in that nebulously synthetic way common to many gummies. The texture necessitates a workout for your jaw; rubbery and requiring some effort to chew. If these gummies really were pasta, I\u2019d send them back to the kitchen.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/kraftmcgummies3.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Frankford Kraft Macaroni  Cheese Gummies Compare\" title=\"kraftmcgummies3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The box \u2014 an adorably dedicatedly crafted (or Krafted) facsimile that was probably my favorite part of this experience \u2014 cleverly gives no spoilers about what the heck these candies actually taste like, making for a prime opportunity for a prank or just a gimmicky surprise.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Whether you find the concept queasy, uneasy, or just plain cheesy, Frankford\u2019s Kraft Macaroni &#038; Cheese Gummies probably have more shock value than flavor value, and only one of those values lasts past the first bite.
