For the final day of Pizza snacks, I had planned on making these bites. These are made into individual bites that work out best when you want small servings and yet plan to bake in one go.
These were refrigerated and I wanted to bake them for the kids' school snacks, seeing how much they loved carrying them for school. However, when I asked Konda if she wants it for dinner or the next day's school, she opted for dinner and so it was a dinner treat for them. Chinnu doesn't eat all these. So it’s only Konda and Peddu who give me their feedback on such dishes.
I greased butter on top as it was refrigerated and wanted it to have some more fat. As with the rest of the versions, these quickly disappeared. I was so glad to have found some more interesting snacks for my kids. These pizza bites were inspired by an online site that is no longer active and I used my own vegetarian options for filling.
When I was selecting this theme, I landed with so many options that one could do with basic pizza dough. The sauces and toppings can be so creative. I will surely be trying out some more and see how my kids like them.
Even after a week, these snacks seem to be on top of my kids' memory, and almost every day when I pack their snack box, they eagerly open to check out if I have packed a pizza snack. I know this theme would be a hit with them, though I seem to have underestimated their interest level. This is surely something I will be getting back.
Infact from the long list, I had short-listed, it surely looked so appealing to have them all tried. To make up for not having their favourite snack, I tried appealing to their chocoholic nature and this time, Chinnu joined them and welcomed their snack boxes as it had chocolate cake treats. While they continue to enjoy their snack box, you enjoy these virtually.
