Well we are officially into the New Year, and you know what is awesome for starting off the New Year??? Well sure, a healthy lifestyle and consistent exercise..duh..but not for my cheat day 🙂 Mac-n-cheese sounds like just the thing to ring in the New Year, and did I mention that it’s bite-sized?
Oh yes.. it is.. and it is amazing y’all. I took my iron skillet mac and cheese recipe, scaled it down a bit well except where I added cream cheese and baked it in muffin tins. This stuff is awesome, just as perfect as the kind made in an iron skillet except wonderfully handheld. I do have an affinity for munchy, snacky, shove in your mouth in one bite food and these totally fit the bill, and hello, appetizers, these would be perfect! These are easy to make and awesome..what else could you want? 🙂 Hello 2015!!

You’re absolutely right – they’re awesome ! Actually, if there is a word that describes something as more awesome than awesome, that’s what these are …..just ask my daughter who practically inhaled them! Thanks do much for sharing this treat
hahaha! thanks so much and for being my awesome taste testers 🙂
Hi Holly, These look great! I’m thinking about eating a whole pan. I think these will be great for the football games that never end around here and, of course, the Superbowl. Great blog, Holly, thanks! I follow you on Pinterest and would like to add you to my Bloglovin account. I have a note on my desk to check and see if you join eventually. Thanks for your ‘cheat days’, great recipes and ideas, Thanks!

Hey Janelle! thanks so much for checking out my cheat day recipes, and trust me I could have eaten the whole pan haha 🙂 Yes, definitely great for all the football games, that’s exactly what I had in mind for these ha. I will definitely look into Bloglovin, thank you! -Holly
We love all your pictures and recipes and would love to have you share your pictures with us at foodieportal.com.
Thanks! I will definitely be doing that.
I’m totally going to try this! I’m new to cooking, and I’m saving some recipes for when I live on my own. Did you make this up on your own like experimenting or something? If so I need to try doing that.
That’s awesome! Well I kind of made it up, the mac and cheese recipe is one my mom made up and I decided it would be fun in bite sized form 🙂
Do you serve these warm, or room temp then? Thanks!
Hey Victoria! I have served them both ways, though warm does seem to be the favorite way 🙂
Thanks! -Holly
i think these would be great for lunch boxes! Can they be frozen?
Hey Karla! I have never frozen these myself, but I think if put in an airtight container and frozen they would be still be good 🙂
