Max Brenner's Chocolate Pizza (as featured on Food Network)

Make Pizza Crust as described, and bake until done, about 7 minutes.
Top with sliced banana, chocolate/white chocolate chunks (I use chocolate chips), and marshmallows.
Bake for about 5 minutes at 350°, or until marshmallows are brown (as desired).
Drizzle peanut butter topping and chocolate topping and ENJOY! 
Richie and I first saw this on TV, and we knew we had to try it.  So, while on vacation this summer, we visited Max Brenner at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.  It was well worth it!!

I cup warm water

1 tsp. baking soda
Beat oil and eggs.  Add sugar, pumpkin, flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and nuts and/or raisins, if desired.  Bake in a 16 inch sheet pan (a 9" x 13" works well if you want them cake like), 20-25 minutes at 350°.

In a mixing bowl combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg.  In another mixing bowl combine sugar, shredded zucchini, oil, egg, and lemon peel; mix well.  Add flour mixture, stir just till combined.  Stir in walnuts.

Pour batter into a greased loaf pan.  Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.  Remove from pan; cool thoroughly on wire rack.  Wrap and store overnight before slicing.
