Ingredients
Instructions

- Continue microwaving in 1 to 2-minute intervals until the mixture is smooth, stirring every 30 seconds.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture onto a prepared baking sheet or pizza pan and spread evenly to form a crust.
- Allow the chocolate base to cool and set for about 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle miniature marshmallows, crisp rice cereal, peanuts, red maraschino cherries, green maraschino cherries, and flaked coconut evenly over the top.
- In a small bowl, melt the remaining almond bark and oil together, then drizzle over the toppings for decoration.
- Refrigerate the pizza for about 30 minutes or until the toppings are set.
- Cut into slices and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother chocolate base, ensure you stir the chocolate chips and almond bark every 30 seconds while microwaving. If you want to add a twist, consider using white chocolate chips instead of almond bark. You can also substitute peanuts with almonds or walnuts for different textures. Keep an eye on the chocolate as overheating can cause it to seize.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the chocolate pizza into slices and serve as a fun dessert for parties or gatherings. It pairs beautifully with Lip Smackin' Punch for a delightful treat. You can also serve it alongside fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to balance the sweetness. This dessert is perfect for kids and adults alike.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chocolate pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for up to a week. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate it for an hour before serving. Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds if desired, but be cautious not to melt the chocolate again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this chocolate pizza ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the chocolate pizza a day in advance. Just ensure it is properly stored in the refrigerator. The toppings will set nicely, and it will remain delicious when served the next day. Just remember to slice it before serving for easy enjoyment.
What can I use instead of almond bark?
If you don't have almond bark, you can substitute it with white chocolate chips. Melt them in the same way as the almond bark, but be cautious as white chocolate can burn more easily. This will give you a similar creamy texture and flavor for your chocolate pizza.
Can I add other toppings to the chocolate pizza?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your chocolate pizza with other toppings. You can add crushed cookies, dried fruit, or even different types of nuts. Just make sure to balance the sweetness to keep the flavors harmonious for a delicious treat.
