This launch marks the very first time the company has offered macaroni and cheese as a standalone Kids Meal main course. The traditional menu previously focused solely on crispy chicken nuggets or grilled chicken strips.
The new meal features a generous medium-sized serving of the chain's signature recipe. The popular dish is crafted daily with an authentic blend of Parmesan, cheddar, and Romano cheeses.
Parents can also customize the cheesy entrée for their children. Customers have the convenient option to add crispy bacon to the meal for a small additional charge.
Young diners can choose from a wide variety of standard sides to complete their order. The choices include the chain's iconic Waffle Potato Fries, fruit cups, or applesauce.
Drink options remain extensive for families looking for healthy choices. Options range from low-fat milk and pure apple juice to bottled water and standard fountain beverages.
The new rollout reflects the company's continuous effort to broaden choices for hard-working families. It offers a premium option for younger children who may prefer a meal without chicken.
Macaroni and cheese has long reigned as one of the restaurant chain's most popular side items. This update marks the first time the comfort food takes center stage on the children's menu.
The family-friendly brand is also debuting an interactive new collection of prizes at participating locations. The promotional lineup heavily features the company's iconic cow mascot.
The new prize collection includes cow-themed toys, keychains, cardboard racers, and classic games from Hasbro. These creative additions are designed to provide wholesome entertainment for young children.
The Mac & Cheese Kids Meal is officially available now at participating locations across the United States. Specific toy availability will vary slightly based on local restaurant inventory.
