It’s exactly what you think: basically a giant, crunchy Cheeto stuffed with oozy macaroni and cheese. Also thanks to Burger King, we can say goodbye to our waistlines, because these look to be both ridiculously addictive-tasting and also crazily artery-clogging. Take your pick: satisfied taste buds, or health? Burger King may say we can have it our way, but these odds are stacked against us. Early reviews suggest they taste a bit like the fried mac-and-cheese balls you can pick up at places like Trader Joe’s or Cheesecake Factory. But of course, these are Cheetos instead of just regular cheese and breadcrumbs. It’s a [limited-time product](http://www.foodbeast.com/news/mac-n-cheetos-bk/) that’s currently only available at select locations, which is probably a good thing for our collective cholesterol. Given the early feedback, though, Burger King might have no choice but to plan a bigger national roll-out, as it looks like they’ve hit on a winner: > [](https://twitter.com/EdgarsDiamonds/status/745265246542127104) > [](https://twitter.com/DropKek/status/745296766573121536) > [](https://twitter.com/BradEYoung/status/745392083632951299) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4378236/burger-king-mac-n-cheetos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4378236/burger-king-mac-n-cheetos/"},"headline":"Burger King Just Unleashed the Most Dangerous Snack of All Time","datePublished":"2016-06-22T17:42:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:38.731Z","description":"Introducing the Mac n' Cheetos","url":"https://time.com/4378236/burger-king-mac-n-cheetos/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4378236/burger-king-mac-n-cheetos/","name":"Burger King Just Unleashed the Most Dangerous Snack of All Time"}}]}] ```
