Deep Fried Cheese Bites

CHEESE! I know you're not surprised to see a gooey, cheesy recipe coming from me. Everything is better with cheese, after all.  These Deep Fried Cheese Bites were inspired by my love of all thing cheese and those yummy cheese curds from Culver's.  Only these deep fried cheese bites are coated in a beer batter before they're fried for a classic beer-and-cheese combo.

We have made these with sharp cheddar, mild cheddar, and mozzarella, and all were delicious.  My favorite was the mild cheddar, though, which I thought blended just perfectly with the beer batter.
