Triangles of macaroni pasta bound in a cheddar cheese sauce, coated in crumb and fried until the outside turns golden. They come with a tomato ketchup dip. The pasta stays visible inside once they're broken open, so they read as mac and cheese in a new shape rather than a cheese bite with some pasta in it. They're credited to McDonald's in the UAE, and they've run twice on the UK menu, in the 2025 World Menu Heist and again in the 2026 edition. Fried mac and cheese bites are a long-standing American bar snack, and this version sits naturally in the McDonald's side range next to the Mozzarella Dippers and Cheesy Potato Bites, all built on the same hot cheese-centred format.
The World Menu Heist brings a German rösti burger, Canadian maple chicken, Dutch paprika fries and a sauce made famous by a cartoon. Every item, and when each one goes.
