Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Isn't it amazing how some people have an uncanny ability to pick up trends early on? My roommate is one of those people -- she predicts popular culture (music and fashion, particularly) with spot-on accuracy. I'm less talented, but I do have my moments. For example, I'm convinced that roller blading is coming back. Maybe that's a bad example to lead with, but you'll have to trust that this is going somewhere.Something I did predict long ago is the rise of chocolate pizza (so did Slashfood) See delicious recipes here and here and here. I love dishes that replace their usual ingredients with ones that are unexpected (and bonus points if the new ingredients are sweeter). So when I first heard of chocolate pizza, I knew I'd be a fan. The first pie I tasted was actually baked by my mom. She used nutella for "sauce" and topped it with white chocolate shavings, but clearly there are infinite variations worth trying. There's a mocha fudge sauce sitting in my pantry that I'd love to use, and amazing toppings could include fruit, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, chocolate chips, candy and peanut butter.
I'm sure you can order them on the internet as well, but the most appetizing ones I found were on this web site, which is based abroad. I've also recently tasted fruit pizza (cookie crust topped with fruit and a delicious glaze), and I'd love to hear of any delicious variations you've tried. I'm planning to make my own soon, so please share tips!

Regular pizza dough, Nutella for 'sauce', banana slices on top and a dusting of brown sugar and cinnamon. It turned out very well.

There is a pizza I have been planning on making for a long time. It involves a base, a small amount of custard, sliced bananas and caramel sauce all nice and warm with vanilla ice cream... Just need to go buy some cream for the caramel sauce and will be all set :D
Hopefully it wont be like the veggie chocolate chip pizza I once made and ate hehe so sweet.
ooo new idea!!! Can make pizza crusts with different things in it too, like peanut butter...or anything really. Oh noes the possibilities are endless haha

The sauce is some kind of a cream cheese concoction with cinnamon apple slices and a light sprinkle of cheddar cheese on top. People have been known to make special trips on Thursdays just for this treat (I'm one of them!).
