Pepperoni Pizza Mini Puffs

Pepperoni Pizza Mini Puffs

I found this Pepperoni Pizza Mini Puffs recipe a few weeks ago on Pinterest and the photos sold me right away. I actually made these for the first time last week but I was bummed because they were way overcooked. I made them again this week with a reduced oven temperature and cook time and they came out perfect! These little puffs are chock full of pepperoni and cheese. If you love pizza flavors, these will be right up your alley! The puffs come together really quickly and they’re perfect as a snack or an appetizer for anything from book club to the big game. Let me know where you choose to serve them! To view your WW PersonalPoints for this recipe and track it in the WW app or site, click here!
