A tasty twist on a standard fudge brownie recipe. Baked in a round pan, cut into triangles and accented with one or more "toppings", Fudgy Brownie Pizza is sure to be a hit!

- mixing bowl
- electric mixer
- 9 " round baking pan

- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla

- 3/4 cup sifted all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional
Instructions
- In a mediium saucepan, melt the butter & chocolate over low heat.

- Beat in sugar
- Blend in eggs one at a time, beat until ribbon stage is reached. *
- Add Vanilla
- Stir in flour and mix well
- Spread batter in a greased 9 " round baking pan.
- If desired, the baking pan can be lined with parchment paper to make it easier to remove brownies when they are done baking.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes
- Caution: do not overbake!
- Remove from oven and allow to cool
- After brownies have cooled for at least 1 hour, cut into 8 slices
Optional Brownie Pizza Toppings
- a simple glaze can be made from powdered sugar (1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tsp vanilla and 2 - 4 tablespoons of milk blended together)
- powdered sugar can be sifted over the top of the brownie
- raspberry sauce from the grocery store can be drizzled over the top of the brownie pizza
- for even more chocolate flavor, chocolate sauce can also be drizzled over the brownie pizza
Notes
- Ribbon Stage is met when the chocolate/egg/sugar mixture drips off the beaters in "ribbons".
- an 8 x 8 square pan can be substituted for the 9 " round pan if you prefer a square brownie
- small pieces of fresh mint can be used to decorate the slices of brownie
