Pepperoni Balls are a savory, snack-sized baked good originating from the Erie, Pennsylvania region, where they are a beloved local specialty. Typically made from soft, fluffy dough, they are stuffed with slices or chunks of pepperoni, creating a delicious balance of chewy bread and zesty meat flavors. Sometimes cheese is added for extra indulgence. While pepperoni balls are high in protein due to the pepperoni, they can also be calorie-dense and high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on the recipe. For a healthier option, whole-grain dough and leaner, lower-sodium pepperoni can be used. These portable snacks are perfect for parties, lunches, or game day, embodying the comforting appeal of Italian-American cuisine in a handheld form. Moderation is key to enjoying this regional favorite as part of a balanced diet.
