Pizza Bites

I’ve got football on the brain, so for the next few weeks you’ll be seeing my Party Food category grow exponentially.  Football season is one of my favorite times of the year.  Our family is passionate about both college and pro football, so full weekends can be lost while we sit in front of the television.  I love to make platters and platefuls of finger foods and just nibble all day while the games are on.  These little pizza bites are just perfect for that purpose.  You can bet that I will be eating them all season long.  Great for tailgating, watching games with friends, or on a birthday party buffet, you will want to make these again and again too.  Sometimes I make them just for the kids to have for dinner.  It’s an easy, basic recipe – feel free to add any other pizza flavors you want.  It’s hard to mess this one up.

    I made these tonight…they were good but the texture was a little tough. Have you had that problem?
