Copper Pennies

  4.7 – 52 reviews  

These miniature hand-held calzones are ideal as snacks or hors d’oeuvres. Although these would also taste delicious with sausage or simply with cheese, I opted to use pepperoni.

A good old tried-and-true recipe that’s been around at least 60 years! No need to “jazz it up,” it is what it was intended to be: Tangy, sweet, and DELICIOUS!
James Barnett
I made mostly as written, but used 0 calorie Stevia instead of sugar and used jalapeño instead of bell pepper . It was fabulous
Miguel Baxter
Loved this! I cooked the carrots just enough to soften up a bit. Adjusted sugar to my liking. Great side dish or salad! Thank you
Jacob Wiley

Justin Williamson

Margaret Taylor
Followed the exact recipe. Very good.

Substituted maple syrup for the sugar, apple cider vinegar for the white vinegar. We enjoyed it warm instead of salad-style. it was tangy and delicious. Great with steak.

I’d had a Copper Penny salad while I was married but only twice ’til I ran across the Allrecipes which I tried. My “pennies” came out as good as I recall but I did ‘tweak’ the recipe a bit –I used brown sugar vs white and I made/subbed a simple homemade tomato soup. I also adjusted the recipe from 5 servings to 3 and it came out great and I added 1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon. I gave the recipe a solid 5 ’cause it withstood my subtle changes and still came out great. Ciao.

I added a 1/2 tsp of sugar to the water because my carrots were a little bitter. I also decreased the tomato soup by about 2oz
Nathan Romero
This is the same recipe that my mother used for our holiday meals. Still as yummy, as it was in the ’60s!
Sara Santana
Due to my personal taste I omitted the onion and use a red bell pepper. Everyone loved it.

Oh my God this was the talk of Easter Dinner everyone Loved it
Jenny Cohen
This is very good. I did use tomato sauce instead of soup because I didn’t have any soup. I also added a touch of Worcestershire sauce. We will eat this for a while as it made a lot!
Kendra Johnson
I cut the onions in smaller slices. Yes, I will make this again!
Maria Walters
I changed the pepper from green to red as they are my favorite. I took this to a potluck yesterday. It was a hit and many asked for the recipe.
Katie Wilson
It was delicious. Made it as a side dish at Easter. Everyone loved it.

One of my favorite carrot recipes. My mother-in-law made this often for family dinners and this is the same as the recipe she gave me. She sometimes served it warm if she didn’t get around to making it the day before and I think it’s delicious both ways.
Mitchell Rush
I love this receipe. I could eat the whole thing myself, because I love pretty much any veggies I love to put in a few beets.
Adriana Mills
I just love this dish. I modified it a little and added 2 cloves of chopped garlic in it and it was awesome! Really added to the taste.
Danielle Blankenship
Yes after making it I put in sauce pan to blend all ingredients over heat for 2 minutes! Of course I will make it again it goes with everything ex: veggies, meats, sandwiches & everything you cook!
