Are you in the mood for something both yummy and fun? How about a chocolate recipe that the kids would love to help make? How about a chocolate pizza? Yes indeed! My Chocolate Dessert Pizza is like a huge chocolate cookie baked in a pizza pan, spread all over with melted chocolate and topped with chopped nuts, maraschino cherries, and shredded coconut. Baked to perfection and just a couple minutes before it’s done, you pull it out of the oven, sprinkle on mini marshmallows then return it to the oven while the marshmallows melt. Let it cool completely then slice like a pizza! It is a chocolate lovers dream cookie. Valentine’s Day is coming up fast and I thought this would be a fun project to share some family love!
Here’s what we’ll need.
Chocolate Dessert Pizza
Featuring a dense buttery cookie crust deeply flavored with cocoa this one is a winner for sure! Truly easy to make and bake. It is no more complex than melting a bag of chocolate chips to spread over the cookie crust, then sprinkled over with chopped walnuts, sliced maraschino cherries and shredded coconut. Melted mini marshmallows give it some gooey goodness that is irresistible.
You'll need a 14 inch round pizza pan or if you don't have one of those, substitute a 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
