You guys. Seriously, these tiny little Pepperoni Pizza Bites blow my mind. They are so delicious, and moist, and delectable, and yum, and every other word out there for omg-get-in-my-mouth-now, you’re going to want to make them everyday. I want to make them everyday. Like my pepperoni pizza waffles and pepperoni bread knots, I need more pepperoni. I have a problem, and I don’t want help. Just more pepperoni, and more pepperoni pizza bites.

Hi!
Someone tried to do in advance and freeze it?

Hi Julie!
I’ve not tried to freeze them, but I can’t see a reason that it shouldn’t work out just fine, though they would be a bit soft after thawing. I’d likely pop them back in the oven to crisp them a bit, if that helps!

Wow!!! I am in love with these. I’ve got al the ingredients at home so I’m definitely going to make a batch tomorrow. I love the idea of using an ice-cream scoop to get them into the muffin holes!
