Tania's Handmade Chocolate Pizzas

I apologise dear readers, I can barely make time for myself of late let alone this blog. However, I must not lie for fear of getting caught out on instagram (follow me, amyrath), I DID just arrive home from a dinner date at Plunge. My local is now open for dinner, and if you can't tell from the Twitter/instagram spam, I'm very happy about it. You see, I've been swimming in university work with the end of semester approaching. If seven hours on a Saturday spent at uni doesn't make you believe me, I don't know what will. Apart from uni, the only other thing I've made time for this week is chocolate pizza. Yes, chocolate pizza. Yes, I am trying to eat healthy (such a joke). And yes, I did say chocolate.

I was approached regarding trying Tania's handmade chocolate pizzas last week and, to be honest, after browsing Tania's website, I didn't think they would be my thing. Tania's pizzas aren't of the likes found at Max Brenner and other chocolate cafes. They're covered in lollies. And yes, I admit I have a raging sweet tooth but it's never quite drawn me to lollies--other than red and blue snakes that is. Anyway, I thought I'd give them a try. I was pleasantly surprised.

I received two chocolate pizzas on Monday, one round, the other heart shaped. I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I ate some for dinner. And again on Wednesday night (hey, I spent all day driving, sitting in traffic, out on farms and interviewing people for a journo story, and then driving again).

The quality of the chocolate was top notch. The lollies were not sickly sweet, but rather unexpectedly gelled well with the chocolate and abundance of nerds. Not only did my chocolate pizzas taste good, but they looked great as well. The bright, contrasting colours were one thing, but what got me was the way the individual lollies had been arranged so neatly; covering entirely the chocolate base. And for your information, I'm almost 20. Who says "adults" can't enjoy lollies, or chocolate, or the combination of the two.

However, critical I must be, there was one downside. These things are hard to cut and bite into. This meant that I could not tuck in to the deliciousness quick enough. Yep, that's just about my only criticism.

Tania's been operating her pizza business in Sydney since 2010. I'm disappointed I didn't uncover her sooner. These pizzas, delivered in an authentic Italian pizza box, would make great presents. I fear I've now spoiled the surprise. Sorry mum!
