Recipe Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°. Mix margarine, sugars, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Stir in flour and baking soda (dough will be stiff).

2. Pat dough in ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or into 12-inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool about 30 minutes.

3. Make Chocolate Pizza Sauce; spread over baked layer. Immediately sprinkle with pecans, candies and coconut; press lightly. Drizzle with melted baking bars. Let stand until set. Remove from pan if desired. Cut into wedges.

For Sauce:

Heat chocolate chips, margarine and milk over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until chocolate is melted; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar. Beat with wire whisk until smooth, glossy and spreadable. (If not glossy, stir in a few drops hot water.)

*To toast coconut, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350° oven 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 6 to 14 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

Betty's Shortcuts:

a.. Mix 1 package (1 pound 3.8 ounces) Betty Crocker® fudge brownie mix as directed on the package; spread batter in greased pizza pan. Bake at 350° about 30 minutes or until center is set; cool. Spread with 1 tub Betty Crocker Soft Whipped chocolate ready-to-spread frosting instead of the Chocolate Pizza Sauce.

b.. Freeze the unfrosted cookie tightly covered up to 2 months. Thaw before frosting and decorating.
