Directions
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 ounces of white chocolate or almond bark in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
-
Stir in 2 cups of Rice Krispies and 1 cup of chopped macadamia nuts until evenly coated with the melted chocolate.
-
Press the mixture firmly and evenly onto a pizza pan or round serving platter to form a thin, flat crust.
-
Melt the remaining 6 ounces of white chocolate in the microwave until smooth and drizzle it over the crust in a zig-zag pattern to resemble melted cheese.
-
Immediately place red jelly rings or halved maraschino cherries on top of the drizzled chocolate to look like pepperoni slices.
-
Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until the chocolate has set completely before slicing and serving.
