Hot Pockets/Mini Calzones

Dude, these things are AWESOME! Not at all like Jim Gaffigan's Hot Pockets.

This is from the cookbook my grandma got me called "Silly Snacks, Classroom Treats and Cookie Dough Fun" that's predominantly a children's cookbook, I freely admit this. I am neither a teacher nor a mother. But there are also some gems in here for the healthy adult in you as well (for instance - Fruit and Oat squares.) I ate the leftovers from this recipe tonight and I'm so sad that they're gone. And strongly considering making them again in the near to very near future. Additionally, Scott approved them for official inclusion in our "Rotation". So you know they're good. Since they're gone, no picture tonight.

Pizza Rollers (Whatever, they should be called hot pockets...)
1 package refrigerated pizza dough
1/2 c pizza sauce/marinara sauce
18 slices turkey pepperoni
6 sticks of mozzarella cheese (I used string cheese...)

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Roll out pizza dough to full size, and cut into 6 even sized rectangles. Spread about a tablespoon of sauce on each (in the center), lay a string cheese down and place 3 pepperonis on top of that. Roll up and pinch edges.
3. Place seam down on greased cookie sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 10 min or until golden brown and enjoy.

Don't burn your tongue. They can be boiling lava hot. Everything will taste like rubber for a week. (Seriously, you'll enjoy the Jim Gaffigan video...)
