After a test run in Canada, Kraft announced Thursday it will bring its Pumpkin Spice Macaroni & Cheese to the United States.
In a news release, Kraft said its Pumpkin Spice Macaroni & Cheese is the "same cheesy mac and cheese Americans know and love, now with added fall flavors." The real product features "hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger".
Kraft's Pumpkin Spice Macaroni & Cheese launched earlier this week with more than 30,000 Canadians signing up in 48 hours to get their hands on a box.
After seeing the huge response Pumpkin Spice Mac & Cheese received north of the border, and even hearing some heated debates about it down here, we had to bring it to the U.S. for Americans to try, said Martina Davis, Brand Manager for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Who knows? Maybe it could become a new North American fall favorite.

(5,812 posts)Pumpkin spice coffee is bad enough...but pumpkin spiced Mac N Cheese!?!?!?!?!

(102,283 posts)Pumpkin Praline coffee, that was warm, nutty, not sweet and absent of the overwhelmingly chemical "spice" and fake pumpkin flavor. Just the slightest hint. I loved it. But, like everyone else, they f>>>ked it up with a substitution of a highly spiced pumpkin variety. Nauseating as hell. Reminds me of reused burned coffee grounds steeped in water and with a container of pumpkin pie spice added. Though the reviews--going back 5 years overwhelmingly beg the company to bring back the original, they continue ahead with this nasty mess.
So, I won't even venture into all the other crappy pumpkin products.

Made some cherry sugar free keto flavored blondies
With dark chocolate chips
Yesterday.They turned out awesome.
Added in a bit of hot red pepper flakes to it to make them snappy. I mortar and pestle the red pepper to a powder so the heat would be evenly distributed in the batter.

(12,480 posts)They are made with plain batter that has not got tons of chocolate in it like fudge brownies.
Keto is a diet based in low carbohydrates and high protein.
I do the keto diet because I have diabeties.

(115,719 posts)The ONLY place pumpkin spice belongs is in a pumpkin pie. Not in coffee, not in tea, and definitely not in mac and cheese.

I wouldn't eat Kraft mac'n'cheese and probably won't arrange an accident in the kitchen
