be trying Mac 'N Cheese Cheetos.

(upbeat music)

I'm a pretty big fan of Cheetos.

- I love me some Hot Cheetos.

The reason Cheetos are the perfect chip,

obviously the taste, the cheese powder.

Secondly, it's the texture.

- God, if you were a kid in middle school

and you had Hot Cheetos for your snack,

you were pretty cool.

So, you know, I made my mom go to Costco

and get me the 50 pack Hot Cheeto box.

- I'm gonna be cooking two of them.

I got Flaming Hot and I got Cheesy Jalapeno.

- I feel like, you know, you take two things I really like,

Cheetos, Hot Cheetos, Mac and cheese,

and put 'em together, it can't be bad,

I'm pretty excited.

- My initial impression is that

they're both gonna be bangers.

- Let's get snacking.

- The instructions seem very simple.

It's just boiling six cups of water.

- We're doing the microwave guide

because why get a pot dirty?

- You add the pasta.

- All I need is water, so that's gonna be great.

- We've had this cooking for about seven minutes.

We have to drain these noodles,

add our butter, add our milk.

Then we're gonna stir it all together with the cheese.

It's gonna be so good.

- [Mireille,] It is very orange so far,

that is a little alarming, but we're gonna pretend

that it's totally normal to eat highlighter.

- [Irish] That's Mac and cheese!

- Oh, shoot.

I wasn't supposed to add the seasoning.

(test screen)

Oh my God.

I just cooked pasta.

For anyone but me, this probably would've been easy,

but of course, you know, I had to mess it up.

- Let's see how this is as a Mac and cheese.

Wow, that's a fantastic taste!

- Okay, okay.

This is Mac and cheese.

- I would say it's warm, it's not spicy.

- It might be like a little bit more cheese forward.

I'm not mad about that.

- You're a real one if you eat Cheetos with the fork,

let me tell you that.

- It really is a bold mac and cheese.

- Oh man, it's even better with the Cheeto on it.

- The moment we've all been waiting for (sighing),

the Hot Cheeto.

Hmm.

Hmm (giggling)

Okay.

- Hmm. - Hmm.

- Okay.

- The Flamin' Hot's, when you buy 'em in the box,

come with so much more flavor,

all though it may just be the flavor

that I'm obsessed with.

- It is spicy!

- It feels like you're eating a mac and cheese

and then one or two seconds later,

it comes in with the Hot Cheeto flavor.

- It's gooey like mac and cheese would be,

but the flavor will not be reminiscent of mac and cheese.

The flavor is pretty like, one note salty spicy.

- But it feels like you're just eating

like a soft noodley Hot Cheeto.

That's essentially what these are.

- It's more like kind of like a hot ramen,

like a spicy ramen without broth.

- Some mac and cheeses have breadcrumbs on it,

that give 'em a crunch.

This has Cheetos that gives it a crutch.

- For me, the winner, between the two at least, is here.

For me, the winner in general,

I think if I'm gonna pick a box mac and cheese

to keep in my pantry, I think I'd probably go with it

to be honest, I loved the texture,

I love the cheesiness, like the cheese forwardness of it.

love the ease.

- I don't wanna be in the kitchen for an hour, 1:15.

- You just found yourself a fangirl Mr. Chester.

- We have been blessed.
