Mozzarella Sticks

This recipe was kind of destined to fail from the start and that's my fault.  When I first saw this on Pinterest, I was excited because I didn't have to even click on the recipe.  It simply said "wrap in egg roll wraps, bake 350 for 15-20 minutes".  So naturally I figured why would I need to click on the link when you don't get much easier than that.  Well, that's what I get for thinking.  I've never worked with egg roll wraps and it shows.  I quickly got them all rolled up, placed on a pan and placed in the oven.  I set my timer and patiently waited.  I was so excited because mozzarella sticks are my daughter absolute favorite! 

Timer goes off and when I open the oven door, they look exactly the same.  No golden brown as the picture indicated and the middle was still firm.  Finally I decide to be smart about it and click on the link to see where I went wrong.  Oh I went wrong in a lot of places.  Inside the link it says absolutely nothing about being able to bake these.  They have to be fried in a pan or deep fryer, especially to get that golden coloring.  I fried them for a minute on each side as directed, but none of us were impressed honestly.  Maybe I will give it one more shot doing it correctly the first time.

I'm kind of losing faith in Pinterest again though.  My kids suggest that I post my own recipes because they're tired of eating the "yucky Pinterest food".  Now that's a compliment...and I might just do that.
