Pizza Bites

A random  food blog I stumbled upon a while back had inspired me to experiment and create my own version of Mini-Pizza Bites.

All done within 40 minutes, I adapted the recipe a little. I have since made a few versions of this which had included a batch with tuna, another batch with smoked turkey as well as an all-vegetarian pizza bites.

Here's a warning: These can be quite addictive!
