    Don't you just love crescent rolls? You can make so many recipes with them. And let's not forget how buttery and delicious they are all by themselves.

    For these pepperoni pizza snacks, you simply unroll the dough and press each triangle into the bottom of a muffin pan. This will make a tender and flaky crust perfect to hold our yummy pizza fillings.

    Spoon a little (or a lot) of pizza sauce into each crescent lined muffin tin. We used about one tablespoon for each serving.

    We used a standard sized muffin tin like this one for this recipe. You could also tear the crescent dough into smaller portions and use a mini muffin tin. Tiny little baby pepperoni pizza snacks!

    Now, the fun stuff. Tiny pepperoni and shredded cheese. You can use any meat or vegetable topping you prefer. We went with the classic pepperoni. (My kids are nuts about pepperoni.)

    These would be great with leftover taco beef, shredded chicken, or some chopped sweet peppers.

    Once you have layered your pizza snacks with pepperoni and cheese, it is time to bake. In just 12 minutes, these savory little snacks are ready to eat!

    These would be great for school lunches, too. Just pack them up in their lunch box and go.

    (Be sure to let the pepperoni pizza cups cool in the pan for a couple of minutes. To make removal easier, simply slide a thin knife around the muffin tin to release the dough from the pan.)
