Dark Chocolate Brownie Fruit Pizza

I seriously love this time of year!  All the BBQ's, parties, & sunny days!  This dessert is perfect for any party & especially the 4th of July coming up because it uses red, white & blue fruit.  Add as much as fruit as you want!  My pizza is a little sparse, but this dark chocolate brownie mix is fabulous.  It's chocolatey without being overly sweet. It's also nice & moist with the perfect level of thickness in every bite.  I could eat the whole pan!  Who doesn't love brownies, cream cheese frosting, & fruit?
