Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet or milk chocolate, melted
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal (optional, for a crunchy base)
Topping Ingredients:
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup M&Ms or other colorful candies
- ¼ cup crushed pretzels
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, peanuts, or pecans)
- ¼ cup shredded coconut (optional)
- ¼ cup caramel or peanut butter chips
Drizzle Ingredients:
- 2 ounces (60 grams) white chocolate, melted
- 2 ounces (60 grams) dark or milk chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by lining a round pan with parchment paper or silicone mat, ensuring a smooth surface for chocolate creation.
- Melt chocolate thoroughly, incorporating rice cereal if desired for added crunch, then pour and spread into an even circular layer approximately 1/4 inch thick using a spatula to create a uniform base.
- While chocolate remains warm and pliable, carefully distribute mini marshmallows, M&Ms, pretzels, nuts, coconut, and caramel or peanut butter chips across the surface, gently pressing each topping to secure them within the chocolate layer.
- Enhance visual appeal by delicately drizzling white and dark chocolate across the decorated surface, creating elegant zigzag or swirl patterns that complement the existing toppings.
- Allow the chocolate creation to solidify completely by placing in the refrigerator or leaving at room temperature, which typically requires 1-2 hours depending on ambient temperature and chocolate thickness.
- Once fully set and firm, carefully remove the chocolate pizza from the pan and slice into wedge-shaped pieces, mimicking a traditional pizza presentation for serving and enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize the base by swapping rice cereal with crushed graham crackers or cookies for a different texture and flavor profile.
- Create a gluten-free version by using gluten-free chocolate and replacing regular pretzels with gluten-free alternatives or nuts.
- Control chocolate hardness by adjusting refrigeration time; shorter chilling creates a softer texture, while longer chilling produces a firmer, crisp chocolate base.
- Experiment with seasonal toppings like crushed candy canes during holidays or dried fruit for a healthier twist, making this dessert versatile and adaptable to various preferences.
