Rocky Road Pizza

Hmmm, I have an interesting dessert. I haven't actually made it before, but will be trying it out later this afternoon in preparation for Halloween night.

Rocky Road Pizza

There are no specific measurements of ingredients.

You want to buy a pizza dough from your grocery store (or if you have your own recipe, feel free to make your own dough). Roll it out to make a thin crust.

Melt some butter and brush the surface of the dough with the melted butter. Then sprinkle with sugar.

Bake in the oven at about 350 degrees until golden brown, should take about 10 minutes.

Then remove from the oven and add your toppings. Sprinkle some mini marshmallows on top. Also, some broken up slabs of chocolate from a chocolate bar, or chocolate chips.

Then return to the oven and bake until the top is melted and the marshmallows are turning a nice golden colour.

Just a side note: I was also going to try a "diabetic" version of this very sweet dessert. You use the pizza dough which has some carbs in it, but you can replace butter with the no-carb "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter". You can replace the white sugar with Splenda or another sugar substitute. Marshmallows would have to remain the same, but you can use less of them. And you can use one of those no-sugar-added diabetic chocolate bars to break up and melt on top. I think they also make no-sugar-added chocolate chips, which you could use as well. It is still something to be consumed in moderation, but worth a try I think!
