Cheese Twists Recipe

Homemade Cheese Twists Recipe, or Cheese Straws, made from scratch with a few simple ingredients, deliciously golden and divinely cheesy tasting. The best party food for absolutely every occasion. No need to buy the ready-made ones, these cheese twists are the best!  I used cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese for a distinct sharp kick, and they were gone so quickly.
