Candy Pizza with marshmallows, crispy rice cereal and peanuts mixed into two kinds of chocolate and sprinkled with M&Ms is the perfect dessert to top off a pizza party!
All of this chocolate is a great way to make a fun dessert pizza!

Candy Pizza
We are a candy loving family, from our Milky Way Cake and 3 Musketeers Cake to Pay Day Crunch and Easy Farmhouse Fudge we enjoy making desserts with popular candy at home.
I recently shared Crock Pot Peanut Clusters that have white almond bark and semi-sweet chocolate chips melted together. Mixing chocolate makes the candy smooth and luxurious. Such an easy way to make a candy store-quality dessert at home on a budget.
This Candy Pizza has the same premium flavors from mixing white and semisweet chocolate. Our recipe for homemade candy pizza can compete with chocolate pizzas from the candy store. Once you make this for a party people will want this dessert recipe!
Candy pizza can easily be customized by mixing your favorite treats into the melted chocolate OR sprinkling them on top. I will definitely make this easy dessert pizza again and mix pretzel pieces into the melted chocolate crust for a sweet and salty flair. Peanut butter could be mixed into the melted chocolate or peanut butter candy could be sprinkled on top.
Chocolate Dessert Pizza
We love making this chocolate pizza for a birthday party! It’s a gluten-free dessert option that is colorful and fun to eat. The pan gets emptied quickly.
Ordering pizza is such an easy party option and it’s fun to keep with the theme by making these chocolate and peanut butter bar cookies into a cookie pizza or making a dessert pizza.
Use a pizza cutter to make triangular slices or just break pieces off the edge to serve.
My mom got this recipe in the 90s from a group of farm ladies that would meet monthly and discuss how to promote pork and farmers. The lady in the group who brought this candy pizza would top it with red and green maraschino cherries. She said this pizza is so pretty for Christmas parties.
After searching high and low I haven’t been able to find green cherries, so we started thinking about other options for a fun, festive topping. M&Ms are so easy, colorful, pretty and fun! Any candy will work, but fun food that grabs the eye seems to make the mouth water quicker.
