320 Calories

We love curly fries and mozzarella sicks so we thought we’d combine the two to create Curly Mozzarella Sticks.  Initially, we thought we knew exactly how to do it but we proved to ourselves that when there’s a will there’s a way, and through several fails, we figured out how to make ourselves the curliest mozzarella sticks.

Julia’s brother Jake creates an incredibly curly version with polio string cheese.
