The bite-sized Pillsbury Mozzarella &#038; Pepperoni Savorings may have the light, elegant croissant exterior that would appeal to your pretentious pals, but when stuffed with pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce the flaky crust instantly becomes this product&#8217;s fancy toothpick. Actually, I don&#8217;t think any flavor that you can also find in a Hot Pocket can be stuffed into a croissant without causing a French pastry chef somewhere to weep in disgust.<\/p>\n<p>The outside of each Mozzarella &#038; Pepperoni Savorings was flakier than a crack addict responsible for turning in the rent check. It was delicious and its taste reminded Totino&#8217;s pepperoni party pizzas, which after some research shouldn&#8217;t have been surprising since Totino&#8217;s is a Pillsbury product.  I also found out during my investigation that Totino&#8217;s also has cheap pepperoni Pizza Rolls, which probably tastes like these Savorings.  So basically this product tries to be sophisticated, but despite the flaky pastry exterior it&#8217;s just a simple pizza roll.  It&#8217;s just like the contestants on <i>Rock of Love: Charm School<\/i>; as hard as they try to be refined, deep down they&#8217;re still strippers and whores.<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/images\/savorings2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The only characteristic that makes the Pillsbury Mozzarella &#038; Pepperoni Savorings seem fancy it its price, which is much more than its lowbrow cousin, Totino&#8217;s Pizza Rolls.  With a high price tag, it was even more disappointing that the box contained only 12 measly pieces.  Not only are these Savorings pricey, they&#8217;re also a pain in the ass to make because, according to the box, they can&#8217;t be microwaved.  Instead I was forced to kick it old school by doing some preheating and baking them in an oven or toaster oven for 17-22 minutes.  I would understand doing this for a meal, but not for a snack.  <\/p>\n<p>The Pillsbury Mozzarella &#038; Pepperoni Savorings may be small, but they&#8217;re big in saturated fat and sodium.  Eat four of them and you&#8217;ll get 35 percent of your daily recommended allowance of saturated fat and 20 percent of your daily recommended allowance of sodium, which is somewhat salty, but not as salty as your hoity-toity friends.  <\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 4 pastry bites &#8211; 250 calories, 16 grams of fat, 7 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 20 milligrams of cholesterol, 450 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of dietary fiber, 2 grams of sugar, 6 grams of protein, 10% Vitamin A, 4% Calcium, and 8% Iron.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Pillsbury Mozzarella &#038; Pepperoni Savorings<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $4.99 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  12 count<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  6 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Delicious.
