These babies are ALL.THE.RAGE. around my house lately. Like kids begging for them…for dinner…for snacks…for lunchboxes!

All.

The.

Rage.

And they are super simple to make – I’m still teaching the boys how to make them. I think after 1 or 2 more batches, the older 2 could make these on their own! (wahooooooo for working myself outta the job 😉 )

Highly recommend this fun twist for your pizza loving kiddos!
