VEGAN PEPPERONI:

• This pepperoni makes the familiar pepperoni taste while keeping the recipe vegan. You may use vegan sausage as a substitute.

BLACK OLIVES:

• These make the whiskers and eyes of Hello Kitty. They have the dark color that makes the face easy to recognize. Kalamata olives are good to use as another choice.
