DIY Brownie Pizza

Making a brownie pizza is a great way to use up some leftover holiday candy in a fun and unusual way. My boys love helping to to add the toppings.

For this brownie pizza I used this cake mix brownie recipe and baked it in a 10 inch springform pan. I think ou could spread it out thinner onto a 12 inch pizza pan and just shorten the baking time as well. I had half of a can of cream cheese frosting leftover, but you could use homemade cream cheese frosting or any other kind of frosting as well. The one cup of frosting was just enough for the 10 brownie pizza, and held the candy on nicely.

Next we sprinkled M&Ms, chocolate chips, and chopped up Twix bars on top of the frosting. You could use any other candy you like. Because we didn't have a lot of frosting and I already had some of this amazing caramel sauce (and because I am always looking for an excuse to eat chocolate and caramel together) I drizzled some on top.

Mmmm.

Look out for the Pizza/Cookie/Brownie Monster!

DIY Strawberry Swirl Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream

I love chocolate. My husband likes chocolate, but often prefers fruit flavors like strawberry over chocolate. hence my obsession with combining strawberry and chocolate desserts. We both agree that this Strawberry Swirl Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream is amazing.

And this flavor combo is easy to achieve. Even easier with store bought ingredients but you can make all of the components at home as well. Take vanilla ice cream, when nearly frozen but still soft, mix in chocolate chunks and big globs of strawberry jam.
