Day 10 Snapps Cheese Sticks

 They're called "Snapps" because they can be used as snacks and/or appetizers. But isn't an appetizer just a snack you eat before a meal? Unlike the Michelina's pizza rolls last week, there's no cheese substitute or filler here. This is the real deal, 100% mozzarella cheese filling.

 The package is just right for a single serving but again, too small to share. Also with seven sticks there's no way to divide this evenly (without cutting sticks) among fewer than seven people, because seven is a prime number!

The sticks look good in the frozen state, nice golden brown color. There's no marinara sauce included, and the picture of marinara on the box serves only to taunt you. I would actually give up one stick in the package for a packet of marinara sauce.

 The directions require baking the sticks or deep frying them, specifically warning against microwaving and pan frying. So I heated up the deep fryer to 350 degrees and popped them in for two minutes.

Not bad! One of the sticks has ruptured, leaking a bit of molten hot mozzarella onto the napkin. This happens every time I cook fried mozzarella sticks.

They're actually pretty good! Crispy coating, and chewy mozzarella interior. I didn't have any marinara sauce handy so I added a bit of hot sauce (which is the orange stuff, in case you wondered).
