This strange strange creation is just the type of thing that the internet loves. Mac and Cheese balls, breaded in cheese puffs and deep-fried… sounds like a party to me. This Frankenstein of a junk food will absolutely impress vegans, non-vegans, children, adults, everyone you choose to share (or not share) this dish with.

Burger King Mac N Cheetos

DAIRY-FREE | VEGAN

By using vegan alternatives to dairy and egg products, this recipe is just as yummy as the original Mac n Cheetos, and with these, you won’t have to settle for limited-time options. I hope you came to get cheesy.

If you can’t find a vegan Cheetos replacement, vegan cheddar flavoured kettle chips will also work if you turn them into crumbs using a food processor.
