 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      cup           prepared macaroni salad
      1/2  cup           garlic-flavored croutons
   30      slices        American cheese
 
 Special equipment: Pie fluter (optional); cellophane-tipped toothpicks.
 
 Combine macaroni salad and croutons.
 
 Separate the cheese slices.  Flute the edges with the pie fluter at this
 time if you wish to do so.
 
 Place approximately 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of macaroni-crouton filling on each
 slice, being careful to allow just enough so that the cheese can be easily
 folded.  Shape the filling into a line the length of the cheese.  Roll the
 cheese into a cone shape and fasten with a cellophane-tipped toothpick.
 Refrigerate until serving time.  Makes 30.
 
 Special Hints:  For a fancy touch, try trimming the edges of the cheese with
 a pie fluter.  This creates an interesting edge and requires very little
 time.  Plus, it's fun!  To prepare the macaroni salad the day before, leave
 out the croutons.  To insure a crunchy texture, add the croutons just before
 fashioning the cones.
