Candy Bar Pizza combines chocolate chips and sweet cookie crust for a decadent dessert that appeals to chocolate lovers and parties alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend oleo, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and water; beat until light and fluffy.
- Add soda, salt, flour, and chocolate chips; mix well.
- Bake in a greased 14-inch pizza pan or a 15 x 10-inch pan for 15 to 20 minutes at 350°F.
- Let crust cool, then add sauce.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using salted butter instead of oleo. You can also substitute half of the chocolate chips with white chocolate or peanut butter chips for a unique twist. If you want to add some crunch, toss in chopped nuts or crushed pretzels. Ensure the crust does not overbake to keep it soft and chewy, similar to the texture found in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Candy Bar Pizza warm or at room temperature, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert. It pairs beautifully with Sally'S Peanut Butter Pie for a sweet treat spread. Consider enjoying it alongside fresh fruit or whipped cream to balance the sweetness.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooled Candy Bar Pizza in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. If you want to reheat slices, do so in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
