not really what i expected but they were very good as a snack for the week. I had trouble cutting the dough into correct sizes so just rolled it in a ball and pressed the chz and pepperoni in the dough. worked for me.

    These are really good! I'm going to be honest here and say that I JUST used the pizza dough, and then I sandwiched the cheese between 2 turkey pepperonis. I was making this with my home preschool and they're a tad picky (haha) so I didn't add in anything else.....although I sure will next time! I lined my pan with the non-stick type of foil and the oozing cheese was not a problem! Thanks for the awesome recipe!!! I saved the rest for a quick microwave snack/meal! Love it!

    yummy! I made these for my daycaree kids for lunch (we made just plain cheese ones) and they were a big hit. As well as the leftovers being gobbled up by my husband and daughter after work/school. The only thing I'd change next time waould be lining my baking pans/sheets (I used 1 big and 1 small baking sheet instead of the pie pans) with aluminum foil...the cheese tends to ooze out while baking.

    These came out wonderful! I used only one can of dough and 2 or 3 pepperonies per popper along with crumbles italian blend cheese (in the bag). I also had some extra italian seasoning mix for italian dressing for that step. I only baked them for 15 minutes because i like the dough a little softer. It was perfect! I also baked them in a glass dish rather than pie pans. The sweetness of the dough really compliments the spices. I had a couple and will take the rest with me to work. Thanks so much!
