Chocolate Cookie Bark

Sweet and crunchy -- what could be better? You can use any kind of chips really -- white, peanut butter, milk chocolate, etc. Leave out the vanilla if using white chips. I always find cutting it too difficult and I just break it into pieces. Cooking time is actually chilling time.
