One day, while browsing through my favorite food vlogs, I discovered an irresistible recipe: Air Fryer Mac and Cheese Bites. The thought of bite-sized, cheesy goodness made my mouth water instantly. I knew I had to give it a try, and, of course, add my own twist to it. 😉
These cheesy bites are the perfect snack for binge-watch or marathon nights, or even on game nights with family or friends. I’ve made these multiple times already and we still can’t get enough! 🥰
What I love about this snacks recipe is almost all the ingredients are staples at home so I always have them available. Easy to whip them up any time we’re craving. 😉
Now, let me tell you how I prepare them. To start off, I boil the macaroni until perfectly cooked, then mix it with the creamy cheese sauce. With each stir, the sauce coated the pasta, creating a smooth and comforting texture.
Next, I shape the mixture into bite-sized portions, coating them with breadcrumbs. The air fryer was ready to go, preheated and waiting. It just takes a few minutes and they’re ready to serve!
My daughter is always the first one to grab a piece with excitement. She says it’s her favorite snack. No wonder because with the first bite, it’s heaven on earth. The crispy exterior gives way to a melty, cheesy center. 🧀
