To prepare these mac & cheese bites, you will typically bake them in a preheated oven or cook them in an air fryer until they are golden brown and heated through. The exact cooking time and temperature can vary depending on your appliance, so it is always best to follow the specific instructions on the packaging. Ensure they are cooked until the breading is crisp and the cheese inside is melted and warm. Serve them immediately after cooking for the best texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional boxed mac and cheese, these bites offer a crispy exterior due to their breading. The portion size is also pre-determined, making them easier to serve as individual appetizers compared to a large casserole dish of macaroni and cheese.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused mac & cheese bites in a tightly sealed freezer-safe bag or container. Keep them in the freezer to maintain their quality and prevent freezer burn. They should be consumed before the expiration date indicated on the packaging.
