Pizza Bombs are the cheese topped pizza version of ordinary  sausage balls, easily mixed, scooped and baked to perfection.

Pizza Bombs

Pizza Bombs is my recipe of the day with the blogging group Baking Bloggers. We get together on the second Monday of the month to post recipes on topics we vote on. The most popular one wins.

This month we are blogging about small bites in baking, because who doesn’t like to nibble?

These are quite like sausage balls which you may have tried before (made with bisquick).  I love them as pizza bites.

Not quite a meatball and nothing like a biscuit, topped with melted cheese they are great to pop into the mouth. They make a perfect party appetizer.

Makes about 6 dozen- and you can freeze up and bag extras to serve later or  just plan ahead and freeze them all until needed. It’s always great to get party food baked and out of the way.

Serve with extra pizza sauce as a dip if you like, but they are quite yummy as is.
