Puff Balls

These are really easy to put together and they make a nice little appetizer for get-togethers.


Though we used pepperoni, you could substitute cooked Italian sausage, Canadian bacon, or even regular cooked bacon. I think that the next time we make these I might sprinkle a little shredded Parmesan cheese over them the last 5 minutes of baking for an extra kick.

We found the original recipe here.

4. In a medium bowl, combine the pepperoni and cream cheese.

5. Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each dough triangle. Roll up the dough and fold in the sides. Place on a cookie sheet (you'll need two).
