What You Need

1
pkg. (14 oz.) KRAFT Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
48
 RITZ Crackers, finely crushed (about 2 cups), divided
1
 egg, beaten
4
slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, cooked, crumbled
2
tsp. chopped drained pickled jalapeño nacho slices
4
oz. (1/4 of 16-oz. pkg.) VELVEETA®, cut into 30 cubes
 Vegetable oil for frying

Make It

PREPARE Dinner in large saucepan as directed on package. Stir in 1 cup cracker crumbs, egg, bacon and jalapeno peppers until well blended. Cool 20 min.

SHAPE into 30 balls, using scant 1/4 cup macaroni mixture for each ball. Insert 1 VELVEETA cube into center of each ball, completely enclosing VELVEETA cube. Roll in remaining cracker crumbs until evenly coated. Place in single layer on waxed paper-covered baking sheet.

HEAT oil to 375ºF in deep fryer. Add balls, a few at a time; cook 2 min. or until golden brown. Drain well. Serve warm.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Don't Have a Deep Fryer?
Heat 3 inches of oil in large saucepan to 375ºF. Use to cook poppers as directed.
Make Ahead
Prepare poppers as directed but do not cook. Refrigerate up to 4 hours before cooking as directed.
Make it Easy
Use a small (1-oz.) ice cream scoop to portion the potato mixture for each popper.
