Cheetos-Crusted Mac 'n' Cheese Sticks Are the Only App Your Party Needs

Everyone loves a good food mashup, and Burger King has a new one with the announcement of its Mac n' Cheetos [1]. They've sent the internet into a frenzy clamoring to try them. We did and reviewed them [2] but couldn't stop there. We knew we had to make 'em ourselves, and we couldn't be happier with the results!
