Sweet and Spicy Pizza Puffs

In my opinion no Superbowl spread is complete without some type of pizza. It should be cheesy and delicious and somehow not ruin my diet. Sound impossible? Well thanks to a delicious recipe from Danica, over at Danica’s Daily, it is possible to enjoy pizza without all the calories. Adapt the recipe to include any of your favorite toppings. I opted for pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapenos – but any combination you like would work. You can also make these as mini muffins and they are just 1 point per puff. Yum.
