There is no need to precook the prosciutto, just scoop the macaroni and cheese right into the prosciutto cups, filling them all the way. The saltiness of the prosciutto and Cheez-It crumbs will add enough salt to this snack. If you taste test it, you might be tempted to add more salt, but don’t. The macaroni and cheese has just a touch of salt in it. The Private Stock has a bold sharpness and a creaminess that make the cheese ideal for mac and cheese. They didn’t sponsor this post, but I have worked with the brand recently, and their cheese is my go-to. I am a huge fan of Cabot, and I used their Private Stock Cheddar for this recipe. I made a quick and easy stovetop macaroni and cheese using Cabot Cheddar. You can use any macaroni and cheese recipe to make these macaroni and cheese bites. Bacon is too fatty and wouldn’t cook quickly enough. The only rule is to completely cover all of the space in each cupcake cup. I know that it might be tempting to use bacon instead of prosciutto, but don’t. About 1/3 of a slice of prosciutto will fit nicely into the bottom of a mini cupcake tin.

The prosciutto has just enough fat that you don’t need to grease the pan. Most importantly, they slide right out a non-stick pan. It is easy to make prosciutto cups, and they contain the macaroni and cheese perfectly. You need to put the macaroni and cheese in some sort of vessel so that it will come right out of the pan. Just putting macaroni and cheese into a cupcake tin tends to result in a mess. My goal was to make macaroni and cheese bites that were just the right size, easy to make, and easy to get out of the pan. Inspired by cheese, and the upcoming game-day, I created these mac and cheese bites.

This is perfect for me since cheese is my favorite food. Super Bowl snacks seem to have one major requirement: cheese. The best part of the Super Bowl is the food.

These prosciutto wrapped mac and cheese bites topped with Cheez-It crumbs are a perfect and easy Super Bowl snack.
