Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add egg and vanilla, then mix in the flour until a dough forms.
- Spread the dough evenly in an ungreased pizza pan.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until golden.
- Remove from oven and top with peanuts, miniature marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
- Bake for an additional 6 to 8 minutes until the marshmallows are slightly melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a nut-free version, substitute the peanuts with additional chocolate chips or sunflower seeds. To enhance flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt on top before baking. If you prefer a chewier texture, slightly underbake the crust by a minute or two. This Rocky Road Pizza can also be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Rocky Road Pizza warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. It pairs beautifully with a rich hot chocolate or a scoop of your favorite ice cream for an extra treat. For a fun twist, consider serving it alongside a slice of Quick Cocoa Cake(One Bowl) to offer guests different textures and flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes until warmed through. This keeps the chocolate gooey and the crust soft.
