Instructions
Heat oven to 325F. Spray 2 (9-inch) glass pie plates with cooking spray.

Bake 22 to 24 minutes or until edges just begin to pull away from sides of pie plates. Cool in pie plates 5 minutes. Carefully cut each round into 16 wedges. Cool completely in pie plates on cooling rack, about 30 minutes.
In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa and enough of the milk until glaze is smooth and thin enough to drizzle.
Drizzle glaze over wedges; sprinkle with candies.
