M&M Brownie Pizza
1 package fudge brownie mix 6 ounces M&Ms 1 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Grease a 12" pizza pan. Prepare Brownie Mix according to instructions and add 1/2 cup of candy pieces. Bake at 350 for 15 - 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted is almost clean when removed. Immediately after removing from oven, press the remaining candies on top of the brownie. Melt the chips in the microwave on medium for about 30 seconds. Stir and spoon into a plastic sandwich bag. Cut corner of bag and drizzle over the pizza. Slice into wedges and serve when completely cooled
Awwww! Thank you so much. I am a wanna be vegetarian and it's been a real challenge to change the way I cook. It's like learning all over again. Can't tell ya how much fun I'm having as I "talk" to ya'll about it. It really is encouraging.
p.s. I'll be very happy to try out the leek recipes when ya get around to it. Hopefully next year I'll have a "leek patch" in my garden. :)
