Candy Pizza

When I saw this recipe from Pamela of French Knots, I knew that my boys, especially Sam, would love it. Although she uses it as an Easter treat, I could not wait until Easter, but I did wait for a celebratory time. It would also be a great way of using up Halloween candy.

First mix up the cookie batter for the crust:
1 1/4 cup softened butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup nestles mini morsels - semi sweet

Combine butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add salt, baking soda and flour - stir until combined. Add mini chocolate chips. Place dough in a greased 14" round pizza pan or a 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" x 1" rectangular pan. Cook for 15 to 17 minutes at 375 degrees.

While the crust is baking, chop up the candies of your choice for the toppings. We used Hershey's Chocolate bars, Milky Ways, Kit Kats, Almond Joy, and Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, but you can use whatever you like or have on hand. When they are crushed up, you can also add M & M's, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, butterscotch chips and sugared pecans, or anything else you would like to add that does not need to be crushed up. Put aside.

Then in a microwave safe bowl add: 1 cup milk chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Heat until melted and smooth. It makes a yummy sauce.

Once the cookie dough is done baking, smooth the sauce all over the top.

Put on all of those topping made earlier.

Allow cookies to completely cool in pan. Once cooled serve and enjoy.
