Halloween Cookie Pizza

Jensen found this recipe on Facebook today and insisted I make it. Me being the awesome mom I am (**cough cough**) made it for Family Night. I think it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. Savanna spent the money for the ingredients I didn't have on hand. Such a great girl she is. My good neighbor Doreen also contributed to this fantastic pizza, marshmallows and chocolate chips. (she also gave us Reese's Peanut Butter Cups which are Ella's ultimate favorite treat.)
