Peanut butter, chocolate chip and marshmallow pizza

Today David and I were outside in the backyard since it was so beautiful out! We decided to do some weeding while out there, and once we came inside we were so hungry. I mean while out there we ate raw sliced carrots and drank water... but just needed something really sweet! I've been wanting to make something with marshmallows, peanut butter and chocolate chips and I found a recipe for a "pizza". I hope all of you with a craving for something similar try it out! You can add a bunch of different things for toppings (like nuts), so try it out simply and then play with it! Anyway, here goes!
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed dark or light brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
2 cups (about 12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Step 1: Set oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 12 or 14 inch pizza pan.
Step 2: Put the flour, baking soda and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl. Mix lightly. Set the bowl aside.
Step 3: Put the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg in a large mixing bowl. With the electric mixer set on medium-high speed, beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. With the mixer set to low speed, add the flour mixture and beat just until blended.
Step 4: Gather the dough into a rough ball and put it in the center of the greased pizza pan. Dust your hands with flour. With your hands, press the dough evenly over the bottom of the pan. With your fingers, pinch a little round rim around the edge of the circle. Bake until the crust is just beginning to brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Put a cooling rack on your counter, and put the pan on it.
Step 5: Sprinkle the marshmallows over the crust, and the chocolate chips over the marshmallows. Return the pan to the oven and bake until the marshmallows are puffy and lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and put it on the rack.
Let the pizza cool until the chocolate is firm, about 3 hours. With a pizza cutter, cut the pizza into about 20 wedges. Makes 1 pizza.
