Let us turn to something: mac and cheese cones. I probably don\u2019t have to say more because that alone sounds absolutely amazing, but these are typically cones made of some sort of bread and filled with mac and cheese and some sort of other toppings.<\/p>\n

\"\"Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

Universal Orlando<\/a> has quite a few different types, and we just got to try a new one. This time, we\u2019re heading to the wonderful world of Seuss Landing at Islands of Adventure<\/a> for mac and cheese in a cone!<\/p>\n

Say hello to Morris\u2019s Mac-nificent Mac & Cheese Cone for $19.99. It\u2019s a freshly baked bread cone with hand-breaded buffalo chicken nuggets, creamy cheddar cavatappi pasta, and ranch. You can find it at Circus McGurkus Stoopendous Cafe.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Mac and Cheese Cone<\/p>\n

If this isn\u2019t quite the look you were expecting\u2026we\u2019re right there with ya. Isle of Berk<\/a> at Epic Universe<\/a> has some of our favorites at Hooligan\u2019s Grog & Gruel<\/a>, and they cost around $12 to $14. We\u2019ve had the Goldfish Mac & Cheese Cone<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"Another flavor<\/p>\n

\u2026and the Dragon Fire Chicken Spire Mac & Cheese Cone<\/a>. These are all handheld, and we would argue, actually in a cone!<\/p>\n

\"\"We love our mac and cheese cones!<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t quite what we were expecting, especially since it isn\u2019t handheld and you\u2019ll definitely want to keep it on the plate. But even if it looks a little different, it might taste just as good, right? Well, we think this snack was still pretty good!<\/p>\n

\"\"Noodles and chicken!<\/p>\n

The nuggets are traditional chicken nuggets, but they had a good buffalo sauce with medium spice and a drizzle of ranch. The actual mac and cheese is well cooked, but we were looking for more cheese flavor, especially because once it was combined with the buffalo, it was a little hard to taste.<\/p>\n

\"\"The chicken<\/p>\n

The bread reminded us of a Publix loaf that was dipped in garlic butter, but who are we to say no to the Publix bakery? It wasn\u2019t toasted, but it was white and fluffy, and we focused more on the mac and cheese and chicken nuggets vs the bread. Pickier eaters might enjoy this, but there is a bit of spice right at the end, and if you\u2019re looking for an easy lunch, this might be your stop.<\/p>\n

\"\"The cone<\/p>\n
