King Arthur Better Cheddar Cheese Powder, 8 Ounces (Packaging May Vary)

As someone who likes the temper chocolate, and who loves the combination of dark chocolate with maple, roasted pecans and blue cheese powder, I was curious to see if cheddar and chocolate worked well. It does. Of course, most people buying this are going to use it in savory dishes. It would be a great quick addition to Mexican food if you don’t have any cheese in the house, and it’s a practical product to have on hand if you have children who like macaroni and cheese. Also, if you make twice baked potatoes, this powder, with a little milk and butter, or olive oil, would be a yummy filling. Last but not least, you can always sprinkle it on steamed broccoli for a quick , fresh twist and a little extra nutrition.

I use this powder to make “homemade” macaroni and cheese, EASY and CHEESY; but, it’s versatile for other cheesy dishes, too! It smells like cheese and is so easy to use! It is clumpy but smooths out easily to a good consistency when added to milk. The taste is a bit salty (but I don’t like salt so it’s probably good for most) which smooths out in dishes. The size of the jar is good because you don’t need much - the flavor it strong. This makes those boxed mac & cheeses a thing of the past - no long list of ingredients!!

This cheddar powder is great! Personally love it on freshly popped pop corn, so yummy!

Very intense cheddar flavour if used in sufficient quantity, very tasty. Gives one a very slight, almost certainly false, feeling of eating something that Humons Were Not Meant To Consume, but I don't know why as there's nothing bad in it. I've used it both for intensifying the flavour of actual home-made cheese sauces and for mixing with melted butter to be served on vegetables, especially cauliflower. Works very well for both of these. Would probably work wonderfully on home-popped popcorn, but I couldn't say as unfortunately I can no longer eat popcorn.

Tasty but will not save you money if you are using it to make mac n cheese. I should have read label more closely before buying, but to make macaroni you need 1/3 of a cup! That is a significant portion of the entire container. I thought buying in bulk would be smart, but I have done the math and a box of Annies is cheaper and tastes extremely similar. Delicious on popcorn though! I think that is a better use case.

I cannot say enough good things about this product! I've tried other cheese powders (Hosier) and they were awful. I was about to give up and thought I'd try the King Arthur's. I'm so glad I did! It tastes like cheese not chemicals. It wasn't clumpy like others I've tried either. It blended beautifully in milk and made a super tasty cheese sauce. No more boxed mac and cheese for us. It's also great for quick meals like cheesy chicken noodles. This stuff is a game changer. My family and I highly recommend this cheese powder.

Taste is good but doesn't stick to the popcorn very well. I find that most of it simply falls to the bottom of the bowl.

Mild flavor and not overly salty. Adds the creaminess to plain noodles that you would get from the stuff in the blue box. Would buy again
