Ingredients
  

  • 1 6 oz. Box of Organic Mac N' Cheese (like Annie's Organic Shells & Real Aged Cheddar)
  • 3 TBSP milk

YUM! Pumpkins, macaroni and cheese and little hands – it’s a winning fall combo to me! Organic is for “every bunny.” Organic doesn’t have to be complicated or out of reach for your family. With Annie’s Homegrown, I can give my kids the comfort food they love (ok, me too!), eat better and live more responsibly. Annie’s certified organic products make it easy to enjoy family meals how they should be, simple and delicious. Annie’s Homegrown strives to achieve “Yum for All” – it’s a motto that I can stand behind.

    This is such a neat idea, we love Annie’s Shells and Cheddar. They will love this treat when they come to visit Grandma house. Thanks for sharing! These will be fun to make at Thanksgiving also for the kids table or for everybody.
