Cheese Bites (Totally Addictive) image

Ridiculously addictive appetizers. I brought them to a party and everyone attacked them like starving piranha on a cow. I included them in a tin of cookies for my hubby's co-workers and one of them ate all of them before anyone else could try them. She also demanded the recipe. From the cookbook "Fix, Freeze, Feast" by Katie Neville and Lindsey Tkacsik. Make them ahead of time, keep in your freezer and bake what you need. I plan to have these on hand all the time.

These cheese bites were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using a milder cheese next time.

These cheese bites were a little too oily for my taste. I would recommend draining them on paper towels before serving.

These cheese bites were a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some spices or herbs to the breading to give them more flavor.
