These cheese sticks are seasoned with chili flavors and instead of the classic mozzarella cheese I used jalapeno and red pepper string cheese to kick up the spice.
My family loved them and they weren’t at all too spicy for the kiddies to enjoy. This is a super easy treat that I’ll most likely be making this week if they do decide to close schools.
Stay safe in this cold weather and if you need a little warm me up try this spicy treat.
