Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

This was a weekend filled with really exciting football games, and football calls for serious munchies. These Pepperoni Pizza Puffs did not disappoint! Yes they are a little indulgent...
But we all know football calories don't count:@)
I will note that my sons say if you're having a bunch of guys over, you'll want to make several batches...
