Brownie Pizza Recipe with Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Cups Ingredients

Alright, let’s gather our goodies! Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this masterpiece. Don’t worry if you don’t have *everything* – get creative!

1 box Betty Crocker Brownie Mix (plus whatever the box tells you to add – usually eggs and oil!)
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (the *good* stuff!)
4 ounces Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese (makes it extra fluffy!)
¼ cup powdered sugar (for sweetness!)
¼ cup Nestle Toll House Edible Cookie Dough, rolled into cute little balls (I usually buy a bigger pack because, well, snacking!)
4 peanut butter cups, chopped (or more, I won’t judge)
2 tablespoons chocolate covered candies (like M&Ms or something similar)
Chocolate syrup, for drizzling (go wild!)
Sprinkles (because sprinkles make everything better, duh!)

How to Prepare This Brownie Pizza Recipe with Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Cups

Preparing the Brownie Base

First things first, let’s get that brownie base cookin’! Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, grease a 12-14 inch pizza pan – I like to use cooking spray to make sure nothing sticks. Prepare your Betty Crocker brownie mix according to the box, but make sure you’re aiming for that “fudge” consistency, not cakey! Bake it for about 15 minutes. It should be fudgy, not dry!

Making the Whipped Cream Topping

While the brownie is cooling (very important!), let’s whip up that cream cheese topping! In a bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla for about a minute, until it starts to thicken. Then, toss in the whipped cream cheese and powdered sugar. Keep mixing until it’s all smooth and fluffy. Trust me, this stuff is good enough to eat with a spoon!

Assembling Your Brownie Pizza Recipe with Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Cups

Okay, the fun part! Make sure that brownie is COMPLETELY cool – like, at least 2 hours. Otherwise, the whipped cream will melt. Spread that amazing cream cheese frosting all over the brownie. Now, arrange your cookie dough balls, chopped peanut butter cups, and chocolate candies on top. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and a generous shower of sprinkles. Pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve!

Tips for the Best Brownie Pizza Recipe with Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Cups

Want to make sure your brownie pizza is a total knockout? Here are a few little secrets I’ve learned along the way!

First, and I can’t stress this enough: let that brownie cool *completely* before you add the topping. Warm brownie + whipped cream = melty mess. Nobody wants that!

Also, don’t overbake the brownie! It should be fudgy, not dry and crumbly. A slightly underbaked brownie is way better than an overbaked one in this case. Trust me on this.

Finally, after you’ve loaded it up with all those goodies, pop the whole thing in the fridge for a bit. It helps the toppings set and keeps everything nice and firm. Plus, cold brownie pizza is surprisingly amazing!

Brownie Pizza Recipe with Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Cups Variations

Okay, so maybe you’re not a *huge* fan of peanut butter cups (I still think we can be friends!). Or maybe you just want to mix things up a bit. No problem! This brownie pizza is totally customizable!

Instead of peanut butter cups, try chopped Snickers, Milky Ways, or even some mini marshmallows! You could also swap out the chocolate covered candies for some colorful sprinkles or chopped-up cookies. And don’t even get me started on cookie dough flavors! Chocolate chip is classic, but how about some cookies and cream or even peanut butter cookie dough? The possibilities are endless!

Seriously, get creative and have fun with it! That’s what this is all about, right?

Frequently Asked Questions About This Brownie Pizza Recipe with Cookie Dough and Peanut Butter Cups

Got questions? I’ve got answers! Here are a few things folks often ask about this crazy-good brownie pizza.

Can I use a different type of brownie mix?

Totally! If you’re not a Betty Crocker fan, any brownie mix will work. Just make sure you still aim for that fudgy texture. A dark chocolate brownie mix would be amazing, too! Go wild!

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yep! You can bake the brownie base a day or two in advance. Just wrap it up tight and keep it at room temperature. I wouldn’t assemble the *whole* thing until you’re ready to serve, though, or the toppings might get a little sad.

How do I store leftover brownie pizza?

If you have any leftovers (which I seriously doubt!), just pop them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. It’ll stay good for a few days…if it lasts that long!
