Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

For New Years this year, we had a bit of a party with my mom's side of the family.  We didn't get to celebrate Christmas with my cousins, who we do Secret Santa with every year, so we combined New Years and Christmas.  I love the appetizer spread that usually comes with New Years, so I perused my bookmarked recipes and decided to make these pepperoni pizza puffs and roasted tomato caprese salad as bruschetta.

I really liked these puffs.  I'm a big fan of Panera's asiago cheese bagels, and they sort of reminded me of them, but with pepperoni added in.  They're nice and cheesy, and there's just enough pepperoni to make them a bit spicy.  My family loves pepperoni rolls, so I knew they would be a hit.  I liked them better by themselves, but everyone really enjoyed them served up with some warm marinara.
