Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese with Cheetos Mac ‘n Cheese

This post is sponsored by PepsiCo Foods North America, but all opinions are my own. 

With vacations postponed and summer camps cancelled, we really had to make our own fun! Since I’m a food blogger, a lot of our adventures do revolve around food and cooking new things at home. I love to experiment with new foods and have my family try them! Luckily, one of our favorite snack foods decided to make Mac ‘n Cheese extra fun this summer by introducing Cheetos Mac ‘n Cheese! 

Cheetos Mac ‘n Cheese is now available at Walmart in three flavors: Bold Cheesy Cheddar, Flamin’ Hot  and Cheddar Jalapeño and is fun for both kids and adults! The corkscrew pasta is inspired by Chester’s cheetah tail, and the flavors are adventurous. My son loved the Bold Cheesy Cheddar and my husband loved the spicier, bold varieties!

One of my favorite home cooking hacks is to doctor up a box of mac and cheese! My son likes mac and cheese by itself, but my husband and I love to spice it up a bit. This Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese incorporates all our favorite buffalo chicken flavors (hot sauce, ranch and blue cheese) with very little effort!
