For those of you that like a little more crunch to their Mac & Cheese like we do this is a must try....

Heat your deep fryer to 350 degrees, in a shallow dish mix the egg and water together, then in another shallow dish add the Parmesan and in one last dish add the Panko crumbs. One at a time place a Mac Cheesy bite into the egg wash, then into the Parmesan. Place the bites back into the egg wash and then finally into the Panko crumbs. Once you have them all coated place single layer as to not crowd the deep fryer and cook for 1 minute or until golden brown and crunchy, moving the bites around in the oil so they get cooked evenly. Plate these little gems and watch them disappear.
