The moment I saw these, I knew it was just a matter of hours, if not minutes, before I made them. I needed pepperoni but that was it. Then… these could be mine, all mine.
But seriously, my daughter had been asking for pizza and lucky for me, I found this little pizza puff recipe. I was going to make them as an after school snack, but as fate would have it, The Hubby went out of town leaving said child and myself, to fend for ourselves. Our dinner of choice?
Pepperoni and Olive Pizza Puffs!
These are the easiest things to make. So easy in fact, that The Kid can make them herself without much to clean up. That makes for one happy mom.
Perfect for a snack, appetizer, or for a light lunch or dinner, you could easily change out the options. What about;
Ham and Pineapple
Sausage and Onion,
or garlic chicken?
I added chopped olives and green onions to my pepperoni puffs.
Delicious!

You’ve really had wonderful, must-make finger food recipes lately, first those sensational pepper thumbprint cookies and now these beauties. This recipe looks so delicious, so easy, and so versatile. Many thanks for sharing.
How cool are these. Perfect for a Tapas party.
Josh is going to love these. He asks for pizza almost every night, so at least I can change things up a bit:)
OH these look so good to me! Now I just need a cocktail party to go along with them!
These are so cool! I think I made something similar for a party a few years ago with sausage and potatoes. What a great idea!
I would love to make them all mine too! You could do a lot with those! Yum!
Hey yum, I like the change up. I’m dying to make some with pineapple!!
I love making a meal out of appetizers. These sound great. How about a BBQ chicken one.
These would be gone in a flash in our house. I love how versatile they are – the flavor combinations are endless.

What mouth-watering treats! I would love them with sausage or really just with olives and cheese.
These look fabulous Megan! It’s so funny how the meals change when the husband is away. My daughter and I totally carb out on pasta, bread, potatoes, etc. whenever my husband is gone;D
Those need to be eaten in the Pond.

Those will be making an appearance at one of the many baseball game parties I am scheduled to be at this year. Perfect for a party.
I have these on my to-do list. They look so doggone good that I think I could eat them all by myself, but of course, I would share with Ole Sweetie-Pi. Fortunately, he’s a light eater, grins.
What marvelous treats for family and guests alike. They will be enjoyed by everyone. Have a great day. Blessings…Mary
