Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese Bites: 7/10
🍂NEW ITEM🍂 I may be alone in this, but I do not like breadcrumbs in my Mac and cheese. I think it adds absolutely nothing at all and makes the whole dish more bland then it needs to be. These new butternut squash Mac and cheese bites were fun to eat, and while they were more flavorful than the original Mac and cheese bites which I find to be extremely bland, there could’ve been more flavor in these. The Mac and cheese filling tasted exactly like the butternut squash Mac and cheese in the frozen section, just a different shaped noodle. It was heavy on the sage and nutmeg which I liked and was very cheesy! The breadcrumb coating could’ve been seasoned a little better. These tasted like they needed a dipping sauce. Maybe the new pumpkin Alfredo sauce? Each box is $3.99.
Have you tried these yet? What did you think? (I am not affiliated with Trader Joe’s)
I liked them and dipped them in ranch lol
Agree 💯 – stop putting breadcrumbs in/on Mac and cheese 😅
I love breadcrumbs on my Mac and cheese 😂 but I agree on dipling sauce I dipped these in ranch because I’m wierd
230 cal for 3 balls of beige mush isn’t worth it really, especially since I don’t think 3 bites make a meal. I’d rather have a chocolate wafer cookie!
I had them dipped in the Autumnal Harvest Pasta Sauce! *chef’s kiss* 👌🏼
This was super bland 😢
They had no flavor 😔
It was completely disappointing
Hate breadcrumbs in Mac cheese!
I saw them yesterday and was afraid to buy them.
This 7 was generous. I was so disappointed.
A 0/10 for me. So nasty even with sauce. I ate one and threw them away. They had a bitter taste to me.
Make a dipping sauce out of ranch and the peri peri sauce 👏
I thought these were bomb 🙌🏼 better flavor than the reg bites.
You should try cooking chicken in the pumpkin curry! I was very very impressed
Soooo good dipped in the autumn harvest sauce 🙌🏻
I was excited to see these since I love the regular butternut squash mac but I found this to be so boring and bland like where was the flavor?? 😅 inside seemed mushy to me as well. Seems like it could be better with a dip but for me personally I still don’t think it’s worth the calories overall
You’re not alone. Don’t put breadcrumbs on my mac n cheese. It adds nothing. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
TJs cashier told me that they must be dipped in something! I haven’t tried them yet, but when I do I’m going to make sure not to eat them alone.
They were great dipped in franks hot sauce!
@traderjoesfoodreviews I actually really liked them. I dipped them with the dragon sauce. So good!
