Both my husband and I are big pizza fans, so we created these pizza rolls that we like to take to parties. I think they'd be fun to set out for Santa to enjoy, along with his milk and cookies!

I'm not a big fan of pizza poppers, but I have to admit that these were pretty good. The dough was nice and fluffy and the filling was flavorful.

These pizza poppers were okay, but I've had better. The dough was a little dry and the filling was a bit too salty.

These pizza poppers were a total disaster. The dough was too sticky and the filling was too runny. I ended up throwing them all away.
