This dessert pizza pairs nicely with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a cup of vanilla coffee, or a tall glass of cold milk! I made this for my son’s high school graduation, for Reese’s® Peanut Butter Cups are his favorite! I wanted to do something different, so I thought why not make a dessert pizza from his favorite treat? I just hope I can control myself around this dessert now!

    We give this recipe a 3 1/2 stars because of the peanut butter was a little too thick. Also, the cookie was a bit crumbly. We recommend to let it chill letting it chilled a bit longer.

    Actually think it made the cookie dough worse than the boring stuff it was before I put the peanut butter "frosting" on. It just tasted like a load of peanut butter with a crunchy bottom. Didn't have peanut butter candies to chop and and put on top (thank goodnesss!) but did add the chocolate chips...which - Read more ...

    This is a very cute recipe. It was a great starting point for me. I made my own cookie dough and doctored up the pb topping/spread and added various toppings I had on had. All in all it came out great. Thanks for a fun recipe!

    The peanut butter layer was so thick I added an 8 ounce block of cream cheese to it to make it spreadable. The result was fabulous.

    I made this for a 7 yr old's birthday party & it was a hit ( especially with grandpa!). I also made this in a 13 x 9 jelly roll pan as I was transporting this. I let the peanut butter and sugar cookie dough come to room temperature to make sure it would spread. - Read more ...

    Everyone loved these and many asked for the recipe. I made them in a 13x9 pan so they were more like a bar cookie but still excellent. I did add a little bit of vanilla to the frosting cause I thought it needed it. Frosting was a bit hard to spread and was very peanut - Read more ...

    I made this for my 10 year old son who was asking for a new peanut butter dessert. I have to admit that I was bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but since it seemed simple and I had all the ingredients on hand, I figured I'd give it a shot...and I'm glad I - Read more ...
