SPICY MAC 'N' CHEESE BITES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the mac 'n' cheese: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
• Return the pot to medium heat. Add the butter, flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper and cook, whisking, for 2 minutes, or until the butter is melted and the mixture is evenly combined. While whisking constantly, slowly pour in the milk and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, 3-4 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, add the Frank's RedHot® and cheddar cheese, and stir until the cheese is melted.
• Pour the sauce into the bowl with the macaroni and stir until the pasta is well-coated. Let cool for about 20 minutes.
• Assemble the fried mac 'n' cheese: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the mac 'n' cheese has cooled, add the mozzarella cheese and stir to combine.
• Scoop the mac 'n' cheese mixture into 1½-inch bites, rolling into smooth balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes.
• Heat the canola oil in a heavy deep pot over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
• In the meantime, in a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well-combined. Add the panko bread crumbs to a separate shallow bowl. Coat the mac 'n' cheese bites in the egg wash, then cover completely in the bread crumbs.
• When the oil is hot, add the mac 'n' cheese bites to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown (work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and immediately sprinkle with salt.
• Arrange the bites on a serving platter and drizzle with Frank's RedHot® or serve in a dish alongside for dipping.
• Enjoy!
• Note: If you don't have a thermometer, test the temperature of the oil using a wooden chopstick. Dip the tip of the chopstick in the oil. The oil is hot enough to fry when bubbles form around the chopstick.
