It's really stood up to a beating that most sponges failed to do so. Perfect for when you've got something like stuck on cheese; my favorite part is how easily you can clean it by chucking it into the dishwasher.

Rather bland; I expected more flavor but it's very muted. The texture is good if you like nuts. The calories are a bit high for my preferences, at nearly 270 per bar. The shipping was fast, though, and the price is okay.

Definitely needs something to enhance the flavor a bit. Maybe more salt?

I ordered a teak wooden spatula. The look and feel of it is wonderful--it's a gorgeous dark wood and it feels soft and smooth in my hand with a well defined edge. However I was surprised at how thin the handle was and the overall feeling of flimsiness. Obviously I did not test it, but I felt that I could snap the thing in my hands without too much effort. I haven't given it any heavy duty cooking work yet, and I am hesitant to try for fear of breaking it.

The sturdiness of the product really could use improvement, at least in this particular case. In the future I would stick to buying items such as bowls that shouldn't see a lot of stresses placed on them.

Honestly doesn't taste that much different from Kraft, except it might be better. Especially if you mix in a slice of American cheese to really goo it up, though of course that adds calories. Calorie-wise it's pretty decent, ranging mid to high 200s per serving at 2.5 servings for the box. Definitely within most people's calories budget! The box is colorful and well presented. It's kind of pricey, at ultimately about $5 per box, so I'd hesitate to get this if you're hoping to gobble down tons of mac n cheese. It's a decent price point if you only have it occasionally and can make a four pack stretch.

I do hate that extra .5 servings per box--it feels fairly misleading, and I wish they would have presented the numbers for a 2 serving per box amount, when prepared. Also I don't see why people would need the unprepared values. Who's out here eating uncooked pasta and gobbling down dehydrated cheese powder?

I bought poppin and boom and have used both in some dishes. They smell great and they taste heavenly! I'm honestly surprised, pleasantly so. Boom is especially pleasant--it's being marketed as an umami seasoning and that's exactly what it is. It amped up an already tasty mushroom dish through the roof!

The only thing I think could use improvement is that there isn't any shaker lid. That would have been a little more convenient.

TASTE: Overall, the taste is decent, and pleasant. It's pretty unique. Sort of like eating a spreadable granola is how I would describe it, so they nailed that product description. Incidentally I got the Strawberry Shortcake flavor and it tastes nothing like that which I have to say is pretty disappointing. That said, it tastes decent on its own. TEXTURE: Not bad. It's smooth but it's not smooth-peanut-butter level of smooth, there is some graininess to it. I don't find it offputting but some people may find it a bit gritty. It doesn't spread the easiest but it also didn't tear up my bread. It doesn't seem to want to stick to the bread very well though; I put two slices together and when I pulled them apart, one slice lost all of its topping. PRICE: Very decently priced, and I can't complain there. This is exactly what I would expect to pay for a product like this, including S&H. NUTRITION: I am primarily calorie-focused so I will comment on that. It is 170 calories per 2 tablespoons. By comparison, JIF creamy peanut butter is about 180 calories for 2 tablespoons. So it's pretty much on par. I'd say this makes a really decent but not perfect substitute for peanut butter, especially if you have a nut allergy.

Flavor definitely needs work in that it doesn't taste as advertised, at least not for strawberry shortcake. I haven't tasted any other flavorings but I wouldn't be surprised if they were disappointing as well. The spreadability could use a little tweaking.
