Kosher Mac and cheese comes in a box?

So, my husband and son only like Mac and cheese that comes in a box (they don't like homemade Mac and cheese). Their favorite is the Foulds brand, but I can't seem to find it locally anymore or online and when I tried to call the Foulds company the phone line is disconnected.

What other brands are there? Wacky Mac is sold by me, but it has artificial food coloring, so won't get it. Our local store started caring Osem Rings Mac and cheese; we tried it tonight but WAY too salty! What other brands are there (that don't have food coloring added) that I may be able to order online? I don't keep chalav yisrael, so OUD ok for me. I don't make Mac and cheese all the time, but it's useful for those once in a while crazy nights when I don't have energy to cook.

Here's a great site that talks about how to make your own mac and cheese. She says you can freeze the cheese sauce and then pull it out to use on those busy nights.

See the first comment for freezing sauce instructions.

Thanks for the link, but doesn't help me. My husband and son refuse to eat homemade Mac and cheese. I've made it before, I like it, they just don't.

I don't know If it has food coloring or not but the absolute best kosher boxed macaroni and cheese is made by Publix. The store brand is kosher. Super creamy and yummy. But you have to live (or know someone who does) near one. I beleive they are mainly in the Southeast. Whenever I (or someone I know) goes to Florida, I buy a 6 pack. I'm actually kind of hoarding them now because they're almost too good. Psychotic, I know.

Hodgson Mills makes a whole wheat mac and cheese. No idea how good it is-I bought a couple boxes for my son-who hasn't tried them yet. They are oud.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I emailed the company to see if they carry any locally where I am. If it's any good, then I can always buy a case online somewhere.

I forgot to add to my previous post, any other brands people can recommend?

I found on amazon some kosher mac and cheese by a brand called "Pastariso", but they were for pastas made of potato and/or rice, which I don't need. Plus, they has really bad reviews on amazon. Has anyone else tried these?
