Frozen Chocolate Chip Dessert

Submitted by knitaholic

"This is a great make-ahead dessert, as it can be prepared a day in advance, and sit in the freezer until serving time. I got this from Simple and Delicious magazine, and made some modifications."

Very easy dessert to put together - the hardest part was waiting for it to freeze :) I skipped on the toffee bits (personal pref) and increased the mini chips to 1 cup total. The only thing I would recommend it very lightly spraying the baking pan before pressing in the dough as some of the crust stuck in my pan when trying to serve (I used a glass dish). Enjoyed by the family and friends we entertained. Thanks for sharing!
