Stunned by this version of Mac and Cheese

Mac n cheese

Mac and cheese is a dish that is truly as beloved and iconic in America as stamppot is in the Netherlands. The demand for it is so great that there are all kinds of instant versions, but people also love making it themselves and then enthusiastically experimenting with it…

We generally don’t say no to a plate of this ultimate comfort food either. I like a spicy addition, or a smoky one, and that comes together nicely when you add smoked hot paprika. Others experiment with tomato and crispy breadcrumbs, or cottage cheese for a lighter version. But what this woman did truly sent the internet into shock.

Nobody makes it better

On TikTok, she posted a video of how she was going to convince her husband that her Mac ’n’ Cheese really was tastier than the one he had eaten out, and plopped a block of cheddar into a baking dish. Uncooked macaroni went in, followed by a quick recording of all the steps that produced a huge mess of saucy mush, and then… raisins were added!

Total astonishment

Raisins! The internet truly exploded. ‘Blasphemy!’ people shouted in the comments, and ’all bets are off’, but the funniest reaction of all? That was the gif that none other than the brand Sun-Maid (those little red boxes from back in the day, remember?) posted under the video in question: WTF?

What do you think, would you want to try this? I’ll pass, thanks!
