Super Bowl Sweets

So I know you've been drooling all week over all these savory munchies. Did you forget one very important thing? Sweets! All the traditional foods you make on Super Bowl Sunday involve wings, dips, meatballs, etc. At the end of all that savory food, you may just want a bite of something sweet.

Frosted Brownie Pizza

Ingredients:

Crust:
1/2 c. butter (no substitutions)     2 1 oz. squares unsweetened chocolate     1 c. sugar
3/4 c. flour                                   2 eggs, beaten

Frosting:
1 c. confectionery sugar        1/3 c. peanut butter          1 1/2 tsp. vanilla     2-4 tbsp. milk

Topping:

Taste of Home suggestions the following, but honestly I think you could use whatever your favorite candy and nuts are - just make sure they are in bite size pieces.

3/4 c. plain M&Ms     1/2 c. flaked coconut, toasted     1/2 c. chopped pecans, toasted

Directions:

  1. Melt butter, chocolate and sugar. Remove from heat.
  2. Stir in flour until smooth.
  3. Add eggs and beat until smooth.
  4. Spread on a greased pizza pan.
  5. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Cool completely.
  6. In a mixing bowl, beat sugar, peanut butter, vanilla and milk.
  7. Spread over brownie crust. 
  8. Top with desired coconut, candy and nuts. 
Slice this up Donato's style and you have quick sweet bites to counter all the savory goodness of the day.

As always, have fun!
