MAKE CHEESE FILLING
Combine cheeses, hot sauce and pepper in food processor until smooth
Put in a bowl and cover and refrigerate until cold enough to form into balls, about 45 minutes
Form into small grape size balls and freeze until teady to use being sure they are fully frozen.
MAKE HUSHPUPPIES
Heat the canola oil in a deep pan or dutch oven, filling just 1/2 full to 375
Combine all hushpuppie ingredients in a bowl to make a thick batter
Drop 3 to 4 frozen cheese balls into batter to coat with batter
Drop into hot oil with a spoon, fry only 3 or 4 at a time. Overcrowding will lower the oil temp and not keep the cheese inside. Remove to rack over a baking pan as done, continuing until all cheese balls are cooked. To rewarm all of them place rack and foil lined baking pan in a preheated 350 oven just until hot, 5 or so minutes
Drain on paper towels
Serve with your choice of dipping sauces. We used my spicy ranch dip and my creamy mustard sauce, both in my profile and in search
