Chocolate Pizza and Pretzels: Edible Treats to Indulge Your Sweet Tooth

America loves pizza and pretzels. From mini-bite of laden versions, it seems as though we can never get enough pizza or pretzels. Now it's time for them both to be elevated to superstar status. You can substitute your favorite chocolate and other toppings for the ones I have listed below. Children may also be involved in making their custom goodies. This is also a great way to keep older kids entertained at birthday parties.

Start with a pre-baked sugar cookie crust. I like to use a homemade sugar cookie instead of the refrigerated cookie dough is available in most supermarkets. Freshness counts here. You can vary the size of your sugar cookie crust to the number of people you will serve. Place sugar cookie on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Spread a mixture of broken pieces of milk chocolate and white chocolate over your sugar cookie. Take some miniature sized marshmallows and spread them over the chocolate. Slice some bananas and add them to the top of marshmallows. Add your favorite chopped nuts.

In a preheated 400 degrees oven, place your cookie sheet and heat for 3-5 minutes, depending on cookie size, or until the marshmallow melts and is golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely. Melt some peanut candy coating in microwave at 10 second intervals until smooth and then drip it over your chocolate pizza.

To make chocolate covered pretzels, you start with miniature pretzel rods. These are easier to work with than the larger variety. In a microwave-safe bowl, add a regular size bag of toffee bits and two tablespoons of liquid whipping cream. Stir together and then placed in the microwave for 10 second intervals until caramel mixture is completely smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Use parchment paper sprayed with butter spray to cover your desk. Dip a miniature pretzel rod into caramel mixture at an angle. You want to cover two thirds of the pretzel rod. Turn pretzel rod to remove the excess caramel, then place it on the butter spray deck parchment paper. Repeat until all the caramel mixture has been used. The caramel mixture will start to get hard and can be placed in the microwave again at 10 second intervals until softened and smooth again. Let set until the caramel is completely cool. If the caramel has spread out from the cake, gently wrap it around the cake to smooth it out, or you can use kitchen shears to remove the excess and smooth caramel to get ready for dipping in chocolate.

In another microwave bowl, melt chocolate mint wafers with 10-second intervals until smooth. Remove miniature pretzel rods from parchment paper one at a time and dip them in melted chocolate mixture into an angle. Twist them to remove the excess chocolate and then place back on the parchment paper to cool. Make sure you put them down on the flat side, or they will roll over and mess up the chocolate coating. Let it cool completely before eating. If you want to add nuts, coconut or other topping you can add it immediately after you dip the caramel covered pretzel rods in chocolate.
