Trader Joe’s Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese Bites

I wasn't really planning to buy these Trader Joe's Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese Bites, but they looked too good to pass up - and anything with mac and cheese usually ends up being a hit with my kids. Turns out, I was right. They loved them so much I went back for more the next week.

Where to find them

You'll find these in the frozen section, near the other appetizers and snacks. The bag isn't very big, so I always grab a couple because they don't last long in my house.

Taste and texture

They're everything you want in a quick, cozy snack - crunchy on the outside, creamy and cheesy on the inside. The butternut squash adds just a tiny bit of sweetness that makes them taste a little fancier than regular mac and cheese bites. The texture is perfect after baking or air frying - crisp shell, soft middle, and no greasiness.

They taste like comfort food in bite-sized form. Honestly, I like them as much as the kids do.

In our house

These go straight into my kids' lunch boxes, and they always come home empty. Not one left behind. They're also great for movie nights - I toss a batch in the air fryer while everyone's picking a movie, and it's the easiest way to keep everyone happy.
