I am thankful to God for the wife He gave me who preheated the oven, placed a sheet of aluminum foil neatly upon a cooking pan, and afterward ate those 3 breaded mozzarella cheese sticks: one and one-half servings. As I now recall she said they were good, after I asked how they tasted. I suppose that could go without saying because she clearly exceeded the recommended serving size. We added a bowl of salsa, since we still had some in the refrigerator. Certainly I was hungry, as you may have suspected, and their taste was so good as to be rated slightly beyond excellent, but I still wonder about this my consumption that many today, I think, would consider excessive. I don’t want to become overweight or pathologically obese. Am I sorry I ate the whole bag less 3? Yeah, my mind says yes. But, on the other hand, that bag will never again stare into my face and taunt me from the freezer. I won, and he lost. The contents of my freezers cower in fear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856871168142588817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-59064972127694355152018-03-22T02:39:22.888-04:002018-03-22T02:39:22.888-04:00I’m eating these right now and they are so good.

They were fantastic as a sample and when I got them home they were great too. I am usually pretty sensitive to sour or strange taste and I didn't detect anything. And my cheese did not melt all out. I had some tiny escaped cheese bubble but nothing that deflated the tube. They were the best frozen mozzarella sticks I have ever had. But I was soooooo sad when they suddenly and quickly disappeard for the store! But judging from this review and the comments I would probably guess there was some kind of error in the manufacturing process that perhaps made them less shelf stable or something. I hope they can fix whatever problem they had and get these back out in stores cause when they were at their peak right when released, they were delicious!CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086138173396313065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-16295973143031272792013-03-12T04:18:25.453-04:002013-03-12T04:18:25.453-04:00Next time, try frying them.

Dont fry them for too long or else the cheese will leak out of the breading. Let rest for about a minute or two, and you wont regret it. This is the best frozen mozzarella sticks I've ever had. I know this isn't the healthiest way to have them, but since they're already fried before, might as well fry them again. They are awesome! I promise you wont regret it.

I don't think the baking times or temperatures were accurate. They never seem to get crunchy. You just know when they are ready when the cheese starts to ooze out. I also thought something tasted funky. The cheese taste reminded me of a non dairy cheese aftertaste. I couldn't place the aftertaste, just didn't really like it that much.

Because it wasn't freezer-burn per se. That's just the closest thing I could use to describe what I tasted. It was a shade funky, but to me it was subtle enough to overlook.

I've never returned a TJ's item before, but I was so disappointed. I love mozzarella sticks. Even fairly bad mozzarella sticks can taste good at midnight when you get a craving. But these had a weird sour wrongness that I couldn't get past. I made a second batch a few days later and, even with a few beers in me, I couldn't make myself eat them. So very sad.The Honest Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553363568487112596noreply@blogger.com
