Gotta request for these for Christmas with our kids again this year. I did them last year and had to fight for just one! The kids all stand around waiting for them to come out of the deep fryer. YES, they get their mouths burnt but they are grown kids.
Two things I do differently 1: I wrap each mac square in thin baccon 2: I use crush wheat crakers instead of bread crumbs. OMGosh they are the best thing ever.

These are a REALLY good...a total Guilty pleasure. Definitely a dish you make "once in a while" and probably for a crowd because you can feel your arteries take a hit while you munch on these delicious crunchy delightful bites....My mom who is trying to eat healthier unfortunately wouldn't touch them though...
My only problem making these was I didn't chill these in the fridge over night, so I did have a lot of trouble keeping the squares together in the hot oil...but it still managed to turn out okay...
