Little cheesy bites of deliciousness that just melt in your mouth. The perfect thing to serve on the side at all those picnics in summer. I especially love these bites because they fit beautifully in a lunch box and even little kids can easily hold them in their hands. They can be made ahead of dinner or party time and reheated just before serving. Add this recipe to your collection and enjoy mac and cheese a little more often.
