Amazing White Trash Puff Balls

Recipe #53878 | 31 min | 20 min prep | add private note

These are wonderful! My cousin brought them as an appetizer for Thanksgiving dinner one year, and I got the recipe. I make them for work parties, and even quick snacks at home. You can always make more or less by using more or less cream cheese and crescent rolls! Trust me, these are excellent!

SERVES 48 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package hormel sliced pepperoni (or any brand)

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

  • 2 (10 1/8 ounce) packages Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls

Directions

  1. 1
    Take out the crescent rolls, and seperate into the individual triangles.
  2. 2
    Flatten each triangle and slice it so that it becomes three small triangles.
  3. 3
    Dice or chop your pepperoni into tiny, tiny pieces.
  4. 4
    Mix the pepperoni into the cream cheese, stir very well so all of the pepperoni pieces are mixed into the cream cheese.
  5. 5
    Take a little spoonful of your cream cheese/pepperoni mixture and put it in the middle of one of your crescent rolls triangles.
  6. 6
    Pinch up all of the sides around the filling.
  7. 7
    Repeat and place them all on a cookie sheet.
  8. 8
    Bake for the amount of time stated on the crescent rolls (usually 11 minutes at 350°F).
  9. 9
    Let cool for a few minutes before serving!

Made these for the big UM vs MSU game (that outcome wasn't so good) but these appetizers were a huge hit!! filling: cream cheese, pepperoni, green onion & mushroom, pepper & garlic powder. After filling, brushed tops with melted garlic butter & sprinkled with sesame seeds!! These baked @350 for 15 minutes. YUMM! Thanks for sharing

    These were good but seemed to be missing something...maybe garlic salt or parmesan?? Either way, very easy to throw together and could be outstanding with some tweaking!

    I must revise my previous review: I cannot tell you how good these really are! I have made them probably eight times since I found this recipe in October. No matter what party of event Im going to everyone loves them. My mini chopper does a great job of chopping the pepperoni and preventing carpel tunnel! I've been adding some Italian seasoning and a little garlic powder to them. I also use a block and half of cream cheese, and like an 8 oz package of pepperoni, because I like a lot of filling. The way mine get folded, the filling is not completely covered but they usually don't leak and if they do its no big deal. These are the best thing since sausage balls! THANK YOU!!

    Addictively yummy little buggers!! I needed to bake these at 375 to get them crispy enough, but that's probably my oven's fault. One of the great things about this recipe is that it inspires all kinds of creativity--bacon/ham/sausage instead of pepperoni, adding green onions/olives/hot peppers/fresh herbs, topping with seeds, etc., etc. I can't wait to make them again--at the last party a full platter was emptied in 10 minutes flat! Thanks Ashley!!
