Macaroni and Cheese is delicious on its own but wrap it up in bread crumbs and put it in the fryer, and you have reached a whole new level of deliciousness. I first tried these this weekend at KGB: Kerry's Gourmet Burgers in Las Vegas and they were amazing. These cheesy balls make for great party food and are a good way to use mac n' cheese leftovers. This is not a treat for everyday but worth the splurge every once in awhile.
