Cheetoh Cheese Balls #NationalCheeseDoodleDay

Sometimes you just crave something ooey and gooey and good.  You aren't worried about nutrition or health.  You realize everything is good in moderation.  That is where these delicious and easy cheese balls coated in Cheese Doodles (known as Cheetohs in Michigan) come in.


Fresh mozzarella cheese, wrapped in dough, coated in crushed Cheetohs, fried to a golden brown and rolled in more crushed Cheetohs.

That is how we celebrate National Cheese Doodle Day here on the farm!!


The teen is a cheetohs addict.  She also loves fried mozzarella sticks and often orders just those and a salad when we eat out.  So, when Erin of The Spiffy Cookie invited the members of Festive Foodies to celebrate National Cheese Doodle Day, I knew exactly what I was making.

Before I share that though let's see what the others cooked up.....


Check out these creatively cheesy recipes 


I'm especially looking forward to checking out the Macaron from Christie over at A Kitchen Hoor's Adventures.


I started out wrapping mozzarella cheese into refrigerated biscuit dough.


Once they were all wrapped I gave them a shake in a bag of Cheetoh Crumbs.


Fried them up to a golden brown.


While still warm, gave them a roll in more Cheetoh crumbs.


Called out to the teen and two of her friends who were over and watched them disappear in seconds.
