1 box (225 g) Kraft Dinner Macaroni and Cheese

4 wieners

Just follow our 3 simple steps

SLICE wiener in half lengthwise starting about 1-inch from the top. Turn wiener one-quarter turn and slice in half vertically again to make 4 "legs." Using a small knife or kitchen scissors, cut each leg lengthwise in half again, creating a total of 8 legs. Poke 2 holes into un-cut portion for eyes. Repeat with 3 more wieners.

DROP wieners into pot of boiling water and cook as directed on package, watching wiener turn into an "octopus" right before your eyes. Meanwhile, prepare 1 box (225 g) Kraft Dinner Macaroni and Cheese as directed on package.

DIVIDE macaroni and cheesee into 4 small bowls and top each bowl with an octopus.

The kids love this creative touch to everyday Kraft dinner. I like to tell new children that we are having octopus and they are so suprised to see their lunch.

Easy to make and delicious. We cut our weiners on both ends, leaving the center intact and call them crabs. The kids love them done on the bbq or over an open fire.

My kids love hotdogs and macaroni, but this takes the cake. I made this for my kids and the kids I daycare. I used white cheese macaroni and added blue food coloring to make the noodles "water". I've never seen 6 kids eat their lunch so fast in my life! Thanks for the good Idea! Barb in BC Canada
