14" Rimmed Round Pizza Pan

Ingredients

1 box (18.3 oz) brownie mix (plus ingredients called for)
1 container (12 oz) store-bought whipped white frosting
red, white, & blue M&M's
patriotic sprinkles

Instructions

Preheat the oven according to the package directions on the back of the brownie mix. Prepare a rimmed 14-inch round pizza pan by lightly spraying with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions (usually eggs, oil, and water).
1 box (18.3 oz) brownie mix
Pour the batter into the prepared round pizza pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake according to the package directions, which will be about 20-23 minutes. Use a toothpick to check the doneness in the center of the brownie - if it comes out with wet batter then it needs to cook longer.
Remove the brownie pizza from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
Once the brownie has cooled, spread the fluffy white frosting evenly over the top of the brownie pizza. Use the M&M's to create 'fireworks' design on top of the frosting. Add the sprinkles over top.
^{* You don't have to use all of the frosting. I usually don't as my family does not love a thick frosting layer.}
1 container (12 oz) store-bought whipped white frosting, red, white, & blue M&M's, patriotic sprinkles
Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut the brownie pizza into slices. Enjoy!

Notes

Frosting : I use a container of store-bought fluffy whipped white frosting. You can even use some gel food coloring to dye it red or blue if wanted. You can also use cream cheese frosting, chocolate frosting, etc. I never use all of the frosting when frosting the pizza - use as much or as little as your family prefers.

Pizza Pan : Make sure you are using a round pizza pan that has higher rimmed sides on it. It's important that you don't use a flat pizza pan or else the brownie batter will just spill over.
