Mac and Cheese Meets White Chocolate With These Velveeta Truffles


The surprising collaboration with Compartés is a sweet take on Velveeta Shells and Cheese.

These days, you can imagine putting just about anything in chocolate and know that whatever you conjure up probably already exists somewhere out there. But that doesn’t take away the initial shock of learning that Compartés is filling its latest truffle collaboration with Velveeta.


Velveeta has teamed with the Los Angeles-based chocolatier to create the TruffVel, a shell-shaped confection that puts Velveeta’s cheese sauce where it has — more than likely — never been before.

Food & Wine received a preview box of truffles which, true to their description, look like a set of five neatly arranged, cheese-colored pasta shells in the chocolate box.

The box of five Velveeta x Compartés TruffVels are available for $24.95 at compartes.com.


The Compartés partnership isn’t the first time Kraft Foods has tried taking Velveeta into new territory.
