Even the most entertaining cuisines occasionally need to be refreshed. In addition to being crispier and more enjoyable to eat than the traditional fried mozzarella stick, these mozzarella puffs are also simpler to make because no breading is needed! Although I didn’t forget the marinara sauce, feel free to substitute another sauce.

Living in the state of GA, we were visiting various sightseeing activities in the area. We had stopped at a local store to get something to drink and I purchased a small bag of what was referred to as fresh deep fried peanuts and we really liked those.
