These all-natural, "satisfyingly gooey" snacks are made with real mozzarella that's rolled in herbed breadcrumbs and fried in olive oil; the result is "Italian-restaurant taste." Note to hosts with acting skills: Get rid of the box—these "look like they were breaded by you." ($4.60 for about 12, at grocery stores and natural markets)
