Velveeta, in particular, rises above the competition when it comes to creating the ideal creamy, delicate mouthfeel quintessential to mac ‘n cheese. During the holidays, the savory cheese relative is even mixed with sugar and butter and turned into festive fudge (yes, seriously), but it shines brightest in a glorious vat of noodles.
