1 of 1 people found this review helpfulIs there a healthier alternative than using Velveeta? Wouldn't some low fat cheddar be better? - 4/21/09
Reply from VTMELWEL (4/21/09)
They do offer low-fat Velveeta in some supermarkets, but not in mine unfortunately...
You could use any of your favorite cheese blends
Hope this helps :)
