My husband is British, while I am French originally. We are both foodies and like entertaining. We have found ourselves jazzing-up some of our comfort foods in new and exciting ways. These Mac 'n' Cheese Bites are a mix between the classic French Cheese Croquettes and the British Mac 'n' Cheese. Another example would be our 'Sunday Roast Canapes' - all the classic trimmings served bite-size in a Yorkshire pudding which was first created for a 'Christmas in July' themed dinner party! ;-)

The Story
British/ French Fusion
Mac 'n' Cheese Balls
Mac and Cheese Balls are the perfect finger food that are crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside. These delicious homemade balls are very easy to make with leftover pasta. You can enjoy them as a cheesy appetizer, or mix them up with other nibbles and snacks at your next dinner party!
