banana split pizza

Recently Anna checked out a couple of cookbooks from her school library and we've tried a few with fabulous success. In addition to making a nice treat or part of a meal, she's working on doubling fractions and making accurate measurements, as well as discussing how to alter a recipe to make it taste even better (such as using milk chocolate chips which she prefers to semi-sweet chocolate chips).

Banana Split Pizza

1 pkg brownie mix
2 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2/3 c. powdered sugar
1 c. sliced bananas
1 8 oz. can pineapple tidbits
1 c. sliced fresh strawberries
1/4 c. milk chocolate chocolate chips

1. Mix brownies as directed on box. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Pour brownie batter onto cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
2. Mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. When brownies are cool, spread mixture carefully over the brownies.
3. Place strawberries, pineapple, and bananas on top, sprinkle with chocolate chips. Refrigerate before serving.
