Love it!!Hi- I made this at my second show and everyone loved it!! I practiced it at home first and it was a huge hit with my husband! He ate almost the whole thing :) Piggy. It's an easy recipe, but I like recipes where there's bake time cause thats when I talk about the cookware/stoneware. Thats how I was trained so I tend to stick to that since I'm only in SSM2. Not that comfortable yet. Hope you enjoy it! It tastes so good!

Heath BarTook me a while but I figured out what brand name has a "chocolate covered toffee bar" (I guess it is written like that so no particular brand is promoted). The Heath Bar is great for the Banana Toffee Pizza and cuts up well into like 3 chunks to put in the cheese grater.

I know about the overflow issue, but 1 and 1/2 packages works well for me, leaving about 2 - 3 inches off the edge of the stone. I have made it a couple of times this way b/c my family loves it. I haven't had a spillage problem since, and I loooove the thickness of the cookie crust!!!

Fruit DipThere is a recipe in the Its Good for You Cookbook. I think it uses sourcream and cream cheese or cool whip with fruit jam - I used strawberry and it was yummy! I would get it for you, but I loned my cookbooks to a host and have not got them back yet :(
 
Banana Toffee Pizza RecipeHere is the recipe you wanted. Not sure if you read all the responses, but beware when using 2 cookie doughs on the pizza stone. If you use two, either use parchment paper or the bar pan. I used 2 cookie doughs with out the parchment paper and it ran all over the host's stove!! :eek:

Packaged cookie doughI just tested this recipe for my show this friday. After reading the reviews of the refridgerated cookie dough I used one package of the betty crocker packaged cookie dough and followed the roll out cookie dough recipe (less butter more flour) one package turned out PERFECT, the crust wasnt too thin and it was nice and soft with slighty crispy edges. Im lovin this recipe!

I make the Taffy apple Pizza at my partys, and with great success! I make the cookie crust at home (using only one cookie dough) and take to the party with me. The trick I learned is ....to take dental floss and run between the cookie and stone about 5 min. after you take it out of the oven, then again after it cools completely, works every time!! Hope it works for you.

I have also used the floss technique for another recipe, only I've always used thread. I make a cake called Twinkie Cake. You bake a regular chocolate or yellow cake and then cut it in half. I use the string and it gives me a perfect cut through the middle. I don't have to worry about cutting it and getting jagged edges from "sawing" it with a knife! Then I fill it with yummy white fluffy cream and put the top back on! :D
 
Taffy Apple PizzaSomeone else suggested on here a while ago to put the apple slices on AFTER you cut it so that it comes out extra pretty and everyone has apples!!
