Burger King president Alex Macedo described the food item as a "triple threat", because it combines Burger King, Cheetos, and macaroni and cheese. Mac n' Cheetos is a portmanteau of mac n' cheese and Cheetos. Currently, there are two known varieties of Mac n' Cheetos: "Creamy Cheddar", and "Flamin' Hot".

The Cheetos were macaroni and cheese bites deep-fried with a crispy coating of the original brand's cheese powder.

The original product contained five pieces and was served with a side of ranch dressing. Today, Mac n' Cheetos are available frozen at grocery stores around the United States.
