The last time food was brought in, I could not hardly stay away from these Pepperoni Bites that my friend made. They are bite-size, which is always dangerous for delicious snacks. I felt like I could eat more and it "wouldn't really add up to that much". : /
She gave me the recipe and I immediately made them that weekend for a cookout we were hosting. They were a hit once again! They are very simple to make, with such a good flavor. Buttery, soft and crisp from the crescent rolls, salty and creamy from the filling....mmmmmmm...
Here are a pan of them that I made. Just looking at them now makes me sad that they are gone...no more for me to eat....wahhhhh!!!
Here's what the middle looks like:
They are baked on a cookie sheet, but if you are making a batch for a party, they stay nice and warm if you line your crockpot and put them hot from the oven into the crockpot set to "warm".
Pepperoni Bites
1 7 oz. bag of pepperoni slices (I used Hormel Original)
1 8 oz. block cream cheese, softened
2 cans of regular Pillsbury crescent rolls
Put all the pepperoni slices into a chopper or blender and chop until they are ground up. Dump this into a bowl and mix well with softened cream cheese. For ease of the next step, cover mixture with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until it becomes firm.
Preheat oven to 375. Unroll crescent rolls into 8 triangles each. Then cut each triangle into 3 smaller triangles. Place a dollop of pepperoni/cream cheese mixture into the center of each small triangle and fold the dough all the way around the mixture, forming a ball.
Place pepperoni bites on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 until they are golden brown (follow crescent roll package directions for how many minutes).
Enjoy! And don't say I didn't warn you about how addictive they are!!
