As a new year of college kicks off, moms and dads always want to make sure their child is set. They want to make sure they're all moved in and set up in their dorm and to make sure they have food. Kraft Brand has made it easy!

Stock Up On A College Dorm Food Staple

If you were to search all dorm rooms, you'll probably find one common thing amongst all of them. You'll find a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese. Why? Because it's delicious, cheap, and easy to make. Kraft made it even easier with instant Mac & Cheese.

Now Kraft has gone a step further to make it convenient to stock up. They've created the Kraft Mac & Cheese College Care Pack. The college care pack is available on Amazon, which makes it more convenient because it can be shipped directly to their dorm or home.

The pack includes thirty Kraft Mac & Cheese Easy Mac Cups. It also includes reusable silverware set. All of it comes in a huge blue box.

Why thirty Easy Mac Cups though? One cup for each day of the month. If you love the stuff so much, stocking up on it won't be hard on your wallet or your parent's wallet.

They're Always Innovating

This isn't the first time the company has released something out of the ordinary. Last year, Kraft released Mac & Cheese flavored ice cream! They teamed up with Van Leeuwen Ice Cream to create the cheesy, rich, and creamy delight, according to People.com!

Kraft wanted to make sure the when students ease back into study and book life, that the comforts of home is right there with them and easy to prepare. How long will these be available was not mentioned but being as the Kraft Mac And Cheese Easy Mac Cup are in every grocery store, we feel this is here for a while.
