These are REALLY good! My husband and sons said they were the best ever. I used canola oil to fry them and then warmed them in the oven for just a couple minutes to crisp them up.

These were OMG good! I made a double batch to keep up with my husband gobbling them up. I even liked them, and I don't like cheese!

These are a delicious snack that my kids are already begging me to make again (and you better believe I will). Trick I used to keep the cheese from leaking out is to put the sticks on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet following the second rolling in the bread crumbs, and sticking the sheet in the freezer for about an hour before I'm ready to fry the sticks. That way the cheese melts but the coating stays together so they don't leak. Thanks for posting, this recipe is a keeper!

This was a hit with my family. I found that it was more effective in keeping the bread crumbs on when I dipped it in the egg before and after rolling it in the flour and the bread crumbs. It also helped to keep the cheese within the coating a lot better. I still haven't perfected it but I'm getting there.
