Boil macaroni in salted water. Cook until soft but not mushy. Drain and set aside. This will be the base of your bites.

In a saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and cook for one minute. Slowly add milk while stirring. Cook until thick and smooth.

Add cheddar and mozzarella cheese to the sauce. Stir until melted. The sauce should be creamy and rich.

Add salt, pepper and paprika. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. The flavor should be balanced.

Add cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce. Mix well until all pasta is coated. This creates classic mac and cheese.

Spread the mixture on a tray. Let it cool completely. Then place it in the fridge for at least one hour. This helps shape the bites.

Take small portions and roll into balls. Keep them even in size. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

Place flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. This will help coat the bites for frying.

Roll each ball in flour, then dip in egg and coat with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all bites. This creates a crispy layer.

Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer. The oil should be hot but not smoking. Test with a small crumb.

Carefully place bites in hot oil. Fry for 3–4 minutes until golden brown. Turn gently for even cooking.

Remove bites with a slotted spoon. Place on paper towels. This helps remove extra oil and keeps them crispy.

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy the crispy outside and cheesy inside.
