Chocolate Fudge Pizza


2 cups sugar
1 cup half and half or evaporated milk
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups miniature marshmallow
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 cups toppings such as candied red and green cherry
White Chocolate Glaze (See bottom of recipe for preparation)

In a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir sugar and half-and-half until mixture comes to a full boil. Stirring constantly, boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in chocolate chips, marshmallows and butter until marshmallows are melted and no white streaks remain. Immediately spread mixture in 12-inch round foil pan. Arrange toppings on pizza, pressing as needed. Drizzle with glaze. Let stand at room temperature until firm, about 2 to 3 hours. Or if desired, refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour, then remove from refrigerator. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Overwrap with foil to retain freshness. Store in a cool place.

White Chocolate Glaze Instructions:
Melt 2 ounces cut-up white chocolate or white candy coating with 1/2 teaspoon solid vegetable shortening in the top of a double boiler or in a bowl that fits snugly over a saucepan. The water in the bottom pan should be hot, but not boiling. Stir the mixture frequently with a wooden or plastic spoon until melted. If mixture is too thick to drizzle, add an additional 1/4 teaspoon solid vegetable shortening.
