Brownie Pizza

Well I have decided today is kids day. All my recipes today will be ones that you can make with your kids. Older children would be able to make them on their own when a grown up is around. This next one is really fun for kids to help with. I let them help with the mixing and leave the decorating up to them. It lets them use their imagination, they have fun with it and it gives them a sense of pride when it is served for dessert. You don't have to use the candies I have, you can use anything. The green gummies are pepper pieces, the red are pepperoni, pecans are mushrooms and the black licorice pieces are the olives.

Brownie Pizza

1 package brownie mix
1 can vanilla frosting
Green gummy lifesavers
Red fruit by the foot or Red gummy lifesavers
4 oz shredded Coconut
Some Yellow food coloring
Pecans, coarsely chopped, if you like them
Black licorice, chopped very small, if you like it

Prepare the brownie mix using the two egg recipe and spread the batter into a 13 inch pizza pan that has been greased or lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes or at 325 degrees for a dark or coated pan. Do not over-bake. Cool completely.

Spread frosting on top within 1 ½ inches of edge. Lots of cheese!

Place the coconut in a baggie with 2-3 drops of yellow food coloring. Close the bag and squish until colored yellow. Sprinkle on top of the frosting. Extra cheese!

Using a small scissors, cut fruit by the foot into circles and scatter over coconut. Or you can use red gummy lifesavers. Just like pepperoni!

Using a small scissors, cut green gummies and sprinkle on top. Looks like green peppers.

If you like them, chop pecans and licorice and sprinkle on top. Now you have mushrooms and olives too.

Cut into slices and enjoy!
