Cheesy Macaroni-Stuffed Pretzels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Macaroni and Cheese Balls are Covered in Pretzel Dough

— March 23, 2015 — Lifestyle
These macaroni and cheese balls are stuffed inside a soft pretzel. The recipe from Nick Chipman of food blog DudeFoods is a savory little bite that is ridiculously easy to make.

The Macaroni and Cheese-Stuffed Soft Pretzel Balls are made using frozen Rhodes Dinner Rolls and small portions of mac and cheese that have been frozen in an ice cube tray. The thawed dinner rolls can be flattened with a rolling pin and then wrapped around the frozen cubes of cheesy goodness. The dough-covered macaroni and cheese balls are then dropped into boiling water with baking powder in it. After being submerged for one minute, remove the stuffed soft pretzel snacks and sprinkle them with salt as they cool down.
