I made this for Vann's sister's recipe shower she had this past Sunday, and it went over quite well! Vann picked up a Papa John's pizza box for us to put it in so it looked like we just scooped something up from there, but when everyone opened the box I think they were pleasantly surprised :) The icing for this was so incredibly easy, but it is probably one of the best things I have ever eaten. I had a hard time getting the icing to cover the whole pizza, but that's only because I kept on eating it when I was making it. The only real issue I had was getting the brownie out of the pan. Luckily Vann and his Mom were there to save the day (they are actually the ones that did all of the work to get it out of the pan. I just stood there and watched). That's what I get for actually thinking my non-stick pan would work. You know, I could have "the best non-stick pan in the world", and it still wouldn't work for me? I would get the only one that would have stuff stick to it...go figure. Sorry, I'm done ranting. But it's true... Anyway, by the time the shower was over, there was only a little bit left, which I take as a wonderful compliment. This is definitely a dessert that needs to be tried. And it has fruit on it which means you don't have to feel too guilty when you're on your 3rd or 4th piece, hehe!
