This Buffalo Chicken Mac n Cheese is the perfect warm and comforting meal for these cold winter nights. It's like regular Mac n Cheese but with a spicy twist added to the white sauce! Yes, I added buffalo sauce to the white sauce to give it more oomph and flavour. I didn't add a lot though because I was worried it would get too spicy for my toddler's taste. So you can add as much as you want.
