Ingredients
Instructions
- 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.
- Continue microwaving in 1 or 2-minute intervals until smooth, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Stir in the miniature marshmallows, crisp rice cereal, and peanuts.
- Pour the mixture onto a greased 12-inch pizza pan.
- Top with drained and halved maraschino cherries; sprinkle with coconut.
- Microwave the remaining 2 ounces of almond bark with 1 teaspoon of oil until melted.
- Drizzle the melted bark over the coconut topping.

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
