It's National Cheese Doodle Day so we are celebrating by sharing our easy Flamin' Hot Cheeto Mozzarella Sticks with you.

Flamin' Hot Cheetos happen to be my absolute favorite cheese doodle. The crunchy and the spicy together just makes my tastebuds sing.

But when you put those little doodles with some mozzarella cheese and fry it up — holy moly. It is PURE deliciousness.

So what do you need to make these? Let me show you!

How to Make Flamin' Hot Cheeto Mozzarella Sticks

To make this recipe, here is what you will need —

One bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos
1 cup of flour
2 eggs, beaten
Mozzarella string cheese sticks

Cut all your cheese sticks in half. You can leave them longer if you want long sticks, but we like the smaller ones.

Add the Cheetos to a food processor and blend until finely chopped. Mix together the Cheetos and the flour. Set aside.

Beat two eggs in a bowl.

Now, dip the mozzarella sticks in the egg and roll in the Cheetos mix. Dip in the eggs again and roll into the Cheetos.

Place them on a baking tray once coated and freeze for two hours.

After two hours, heat your vegetable oil to 350 and fry for about 3 minutes or until the cheese begins to seep out from the mozzarella sticks.

Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate. Serve with marinara sauce on the side.
