I had some trouble getting the cheese sauce to thicken, but other than that, these Mac-O-Lanterns were really easy to make.

These Mac-O-Lanterns were a bit too cheesy for my taste, but they were still good.

This was the worst macaroni and cheese I've ever had. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not a huge fan of macaroni and cheese, but these Mac-O-Lanterns were really good. The cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the noodles were cooked perfectly.
