Mac and cheese candy canes are a thing and I don’t know how I feel about it

I’m not sure how I feel about this…

I love mac and cheese and I love candy canes but I don’t know what to think about the two foods combined.

The Archie McPhee company are selling a very different take on the festive favourite with a brand new flavour of candy cane – mac and cheese.

Archie McPhee is at it again giving us crazy Candy Cane flavors. Last year I tried their Rotisserie Chicken flavor and .. it was an experience. ? ( It’s available this year too if you’re feeling brave ). This year they have 2 new varieties .. here’s one of them- Mac & Cheese flavored Candy Canes. ? This one isn’t bad! Smells like cheese and tastes like Mac n cheese but the sweetness overpowers the flavor eventually so it’s doable. ?? I might not be so brave when I try the next one.. ?. PURCHASED ONLINE. @archiemcphee #archiemcphee #archiemcpheecandycanes #archiemcpheemacandcheesecandycanes #macandcheese #macandcheesecandycanes #accoutrements #extracheesy #cheese #cheesy #cheesycandy #junkfood

Now those who have tried them have said that they are tolerable but I wouldn’t exactly call that a rave review.

Saying that if you put one down in front of me I would definitely give it a try.

My daughter loves really weird food combinations so she would probably mill into a box of these while I stood back and watched in horror.

If you’re feeling brave enough or fancy tricking some of your relatives over the Christmas season (it’s never too early to start planning family activities) these mac and cheese candy canes are available exclusively from the Archie McPhee website.

They cost €5 plus shipping and although they currently only ship within the United States, that’s nothing a bit of parcel motel can’t sort out.

While you’re at it you can also pick yourself up some of the companies other festive offerings including coal and chicken flavoured candy canes.

Christmas will never be the same again.
