Simple Pepperoni Rolls

I developed this recipe for my youngest son. He’s a pepperoni fanatic. He likes to help me in the kitchen. Usually, we make cookies; we make cookie dough and eat almost all of it without actually baking the cookies. It’s still good and fun!

I love for my boys to cook with me. They usually share their secrets as we cook and talk! That may come in handy as they get older!

I like to serve my Simple Pepperoni Rolls as an after-school snack to my boys. In addition, these hearty snacks make a great potluck food for gameday and tailgating festivities!

In written directions, you say cut into 33 pieces, 33 pieces of pepperoni and 11 pieces of cheese.. in the recipe you say 36 pieces, 12 pieces of pepperoni and 12 cubes of cheese. Which one is correct. My grandkids would love these.
