Ingredients
Brownie Base:
Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 1/2 cups chocolate hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
3 large eggs
1 heaping cup all-purpose flour
Hazelnut Ganache:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chocolate hazelnut spread, such as Nutella
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Pieces of chocolate-toffee bars, such as Heath
Caramel-filled chocolates, such as Rolos

Directions
- For the brownie base: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly coat a round 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray. Top with parchment paper and spray again with cooking spray.
- Add the chocolate hazelnut spread and eggs to a bowl and mix until smooth. Fold in the flour until it is all mixed in. Pour the mixture into the center of the pizza pan and, using a spatula, spread to the edges of the pan in an even layer. (The dough will be quite thick.) Bake until the brownie is cooked through and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the hazelnut ganache: Heat the cream in a pan over a medium heat. Place the chocolate hazelnut spread and chocolate chips in a bowl. Pour the hot cream over and whisk until melted and smooth.
- For the toppings: Put the almond bark in a microwave-proof bowl and microwave in short bursts of 30 seconds, stirring in between, until it is melted.
- Remove the pizza base from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan. Carefully slide a spatula under the brownie to loosen it from the parchment and slide onto a cake stand or serving platter.
- Pour the ganache over and spread, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Decorate with the candy, then drizzle over the melted almond bark, spooning it back and forth in lines. Scatter over the sprinkles.
