7.25 oz box Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (and required ingredients)

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

¾ cup cheese spread (such as Pub cheese)

2 jalapeño peppers, seeded and finely diced

2 cups Italian breadcrumbs

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp cayenne pepper

4 eggs

3 Tbsp milk

4 cups vegetable oil

Instructions:

Prepare Kraft Macaroni & Cheese according to package directions. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan and cheese spread until well combined. Fold in jalapeño peppers. Cover. Chill for 2 to 4 hours. Form macaroni mixture into balls. Place on a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 2 hours. In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, paprika, chili powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper. In a small bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Dip frozen macaroni balls in egg mixture, then in the breadcrumb mixture. In a frying pan, heat oil over medium-high. Add macaroni balls. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden. Lower heat if needed. Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
