Easy Pizza Popper Freezer Snacks for Kids!

Kids are forever asking for a quick snack after school and we routinely reach for those handy frozen snacks but all of the preservatives and unknown ingredients make this mom worry about what her children are eating.  These Pizza Popper Freezer Snacks for Kids are quick and easy to make and store wonderfully in the freezer for easy reheating on the go.  Although the recipe listed below uses mini pepperoni as the filling, you can easily substitute your favorite veggies, Italian sausage or Canadian Bacon to create your own preferred “pizza” flavor.

Pizza Popper Freezer Snacks

• Canned Biscuits (traditional – not the “extra flaky” or “grand” style)
• Easy Pizza Sauce
• Mini Pepperoni’s
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

On clean surface pat biscuit down until flattened and approximately 3 ½” in diameter. Spoon your pizza sauce onto center of flattened biscuit (1-2 Teaspoon depending on preference). Fill up your biscuits with your favorite toppings, we used pepperoni and cheese. Be sure to leave some room around the edge for folding.

Fold your sides over creating a seal over filling.  This should form a small ball. Place these folded side down in pre-sprayed baking sheet or casserole. Then, you just pop them into the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown on top.

These may be served immediately or cooled and frozen in properly labeled airtight container.  To reheat simply remove from freezer and place on a microwave safe plate for 60-90 seconds at medium high heat.
