Easy and quick hot mini pizza bites

So, my kids get pretty sick of sandwiches and the types of other things I pack them for lunch at school.  On weekends, holidays, and summer days, I like to mix it up a little with not too much effort. No, this one is not the healthiest of items, but you can pair them with some cut up fruit or carrots and call it a day.

After my son requested "pizza lunchables", I decided I'd try to instead buy similar ingredients and make them myself.  With a little trial and error, I think we finally hit a winner.  We found a cracker that tastes more like a crunchy pizza crust than a crumbly cracker, and found that warming them up produces a much tastier pizza bite.

Here are the instructions:
You will need a package of shredded mozzarella (the finer shreds), a package of Town House Flatbread sea salt crackers (and this brand/variety seem to work the best, WAY better than any other crackers we've ever tried), and pepperoni (whatever brand/variety you like.)

 Put a few crackers on a microwaveable plate.
 Layer a pepperoni on each cracker.
 Sprinkle some cheese on top of each pepperoni. (The finer shreds melt faster than the thicker shreds.)
 Microwave for 15 seconds or until the cheese is slightly melted.
Let cool a little, and enjoy!
