Life can be great deep fried and while it may not be something you’d do on a regular basis, it is definitely a wonderful treat!

Check Out These Ingredients:

• 1 package of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese elbow macaroni
• Panko bread crumbs
• 3-4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg (1/2 if you are worried about over-spicing or using freshly ground
• nutmeg)
• Dry spices (optional)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 muffin tin
• Vegetable oil (preferably peanut oil)

I don't recommend the classic tube-shaped original Kraft mac and cheese. Get the creamier elbow-shaped version in the similar-looking box, or even better spring for the “deluxe” version with the pour-able cheese sauce.

Step 1: Cook and partially freeze the mac and cheese

Cook the mac and cheese according to the box directions. Let it cool and allow the sauce to thicken.

Add 1 teaspoon of nutmeg and any other spices you prefer. Don't be shy with the spices as the act of deep frying will cover up subtle flavors.

Get out your muffin tin and scoop the mac and cheese into each muffin compartment, tamping it down tightly.

You don't need to butter the tin. Then, toss this in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to get the mac and cheese to hold together into a hockey-puck shape.
