No one can deny the magic of the blue box. As a kid, I begged my mom to pick up a box or two of Kraft Mac & Cheese every time she went grocery shopping. I was totally hooked on the cheesy flavor, and it was one of the few things I was allowed to make on my own using the stovetop.
I still pick up a box now and then for old times’ sake, but I don’t eat nearly as much boxed mac and cheese as I did growing up. Something I haven’t grown out of is instant ramen. So when Kraft announced its new Cheesy Ramen, my ears perked up.

Kraft Mac & Cheese’s New Cheesy Ramen Is Coming Soon
In a genius move, Kraft Mac & Cheese is entering a new category for the first time in nearly 20 years with Cheesy Ramen. According to what I’ve seen at food conventions over the last few years (and on social media) cheesy ramen is so hot right now. The kids (and adults, let’s be honest) love cheese, they love ramen, and they love cheesy ramen.
As the cheesy noodles expert, it makes sense for Kraft to get in the game. Cheesy Ramen will be available in three flavors:
-
Spicy: Ramen with a creamy, spicy sauce for the heat lovers.
-
Chicken: A classic ramen flavor with added cheesy goodness.
-
Pork: Same deal, different savory meat flavor.
The combination of deliciousness and convenience sounds irresistible. I always have some instant ramen on hand, but you know what would make it even better? Cheese.
From the looks of it, each serving comes in a bowl and cooks in the microwave in just a few minutes. I’m willing to bet that all you have to do is add water, heat, and eat.
How To Get Your Hands on Kraft Cheesy Ramen
Now comes the bad news. Kraft Mac & Cheese Cheesy Ramen isn’t hitting shelves nationwide until early 2027. Have I already marked my calendar? I sure have.
Kraft Mac & Cheese will share product updates on Instagram and TikTok. The company says there may be opportunities to try Cheesy Ramen before its nationwide launch. I’m excited to try the new ultra-convenient cheesy noodles.
