A perfect project at your child’s next sleepover or birthday party, this brownie pizza topped with fruit will be a hit with the kids. Bake the brownie mix and semi-sweet chocolate morsels in a pizza pan ahead of time and then let the kids decorate with whipped topping and pizza-inspired fruit decorations, like pineapple chunks, strawberry slices and kiwi.
