Pizza Bites

I got this recipe from a friend of a friend of a well, you get it. It's a very easy treat for the kiddos! If you want to be wild and crazy, substitute some sauteed mushrooms for the pepperoni, or whatever 1 topping that you like. I will say though, that the pepperoni helps hold back the cheese from oozing out better than other substitutes. But, to me, the cheese tastes good when it oozes out and gets baked to golden anyhow. Enjoy!
