CHICAGO, IL — This year, love will not only be in the air, but it can also be found in a comforting bowl of macaroni and cheese. Just ahead of Valentine's Day, Chicago-based Kraft Heinz announced its new Candy Kraft Mac & Cheese.

This limited-edition item will have the familiar cheesy goodness, but will include a candy flavor packet to turn the mac and cheese pink and "add hints of sweet candy flavor," the company said in a news release Wednesday.

"No more noodling on what gift to buy," the release said. "There is no better way to show your love this Valentine’s Day than saying 'you're the mac to my cheese' with Candy Kraft Mac & Cheese."
