Tasty Bite-Sized Pepperoni & Sausage Pizza Puffs are the perfect little pizza snack. Whip them up for after school, a party, game day, or as a super fun lunchbox treat!
Want tasty little bite-sized pizzas to snack on? Well, then you've come to the right place. Because these cute little Pepperoni & Sausage Pizza Puffs are just the perfect little pizza snack! Prepared in mini muffin tins, they're a two-bite bit of pizza snacking fun.
And did I mention they're easy to make?
Oh, yes ... these tasty little cuties aren't just cute and yummy, they're easy too. And don't you just love it when that happens?
A while back, I had a group of friends over one afternoon for a "blog tasting party" ... I made a bunch of new-to-me dishes ... and they agreed to be my 'tasting' guinea pigs and give feedback about all the dishes. It was sooo much fun!
Sometimes you just need a new set of taste buds to try out the recipes you're working with. Plus, it was a fun way to spend time with friends, too.
Well, these Bite-Sized Pepperoni & Sausage Pizza Puffs were one of the definite 'keepers' from that day {along with Barbecue Roasted Mixed Nuts and Spiced Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies}.
It's taken me a while to get around to sharing these yummies with you because they needed just a tad more tweaking. That tweaking is done, and I'm 100% happy with them now! And happy to share them with you.
What my friends loved best about these Bite-Sized Pizza Puffs was they're a great snack for the kids. They said their kids would gobble them up in a heartbeat. And yep, ... they did! I sent the leftovers home with one of my friends, and her two boys had them gone in a flash.

ReplyDeleteHi Tracey. This look awesome. Have you ever tried freezing them? I'm thinking in terms of make ahead for family get togethers and to have to pop a couple out as snack at anytime. Just wondered if maybe you had tried that. Thanks! Just found your blog and love it!
ReplyDeleteHi, Barbara! I have not tried freezing them ... but I would think it would work. Bake them, freeze them, thaw them ... then pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to warm them up. I've had success re-heating them from the refrigerator, so I say give freezing them a try!
DeleteThanks Tracey, I may just do that!
DeleteHi Can't wait to try them!! Hmmm!
ReplyDeleteCan I freeze them??
Sounds great! Thanks!
