Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 14 oz. white almond bark
  • 2 c. miniature marshmallows
  • 1 c. crisp rice cereal
  • 1 c. peanuts
  • 6 oz. jar red maraschino cherries
  • 3 Tbsp. green cherries
  • 1/3 c. coconut
  • 1 tsp. oil

Instructions

  1. Microwave 1 package of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 14 ounces of white almond bark in a 2-quart bowl on High for 2 minutes; stir.
  2. Continue microwaving in 1 or 2-minute intervals until smooth, stirring every 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the miniature marshmallows, crisp rice cereal, and peanuts.
  4. Pour the mixture onto a greased 12-inch pizza pan.
  5. Top with drained and halved maraschino cherries; sprinkle with coconut.

Tips & Substitutions

For a fun twist, consider adding different toppings like crushed candy bars or nuts. If you want a vegan version, substitute the chocolate chips and almond bark with dairy-free options. Make sure to grease the pizza pan well to prevent sticking, and keep an eye on the melting chocolate; it can burn quickly in the microwave.

Serving Suggestions

This dessert is perfect for parties or movie nights and pairs beautifully with Santa'S Slush for a festive treat. Consider serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience. It's a great conversation starter and sure to impress guests, especially during celebrations.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover Candy Chocolate Pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To serve, simply slice and enjoy cold, or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Avoid freezing, as it may change the texture of the chocolate.
