Cook's notes:
Try a variety of toppings. at least one topping and one
sauce, but the sky's the limit! You can do whatever
sounds delicious! hot fudge and m&m's® make an
easy winner. Some other great combos: hot fudge and
Spanish peanuts; salted caramel and crushed Oreos®;
raspberry puree, chopped chocolate, and toasted
almonds, just to name a few! have fun and be creative!
7. Or better yet, make a little buffet of options and let
everyone top their very own ice cream pizza slices.
8. Save the other 1/2 of the box of cake mix for your
next ice cream pizza party Or double the recipe and
