Annie's Rice Pasta and Cheddar Mac and Cheese

How many gluten-free macaroni and cheese brands have you tried? How many of them did you actually like? I have tried several and (being the picky eater that I am), liked none. They all had something wrong with the texture and taste of the pasta, and their cheese topping was seriously disgusting. However, there is ONE brand that I not only like, I LOVE! That would be Annie's Rice Pasta and Cheddar Mac and Cheese. The pasta is delicious and the cheese tastes like Kraft's mac and cheese! 
It's pretty easy to find in your local grocery store, but you can also buy it online. I got this picture from Amazon.com where you can buy it also.
