Awesome anytime! I made some huge chocolate chip cookies to make these. I used french vanilla ice cream and decorated with crushed M&M's, mini chocolate chips, and crushed butterfinger candy bars. The kids went crazy when they saw the platter coming out to poolside for them to snack on. I will make some ahead so we can grab them out of the freezer when the mood strikes!

Wonderful easy treat. Made these for a Bible study and they were a hit- used HEB Bakery cookies in MM and Choc chip. And of course being from TX have to use Homemade Vanilla Blue Bell Ice Cream. Super fun and so good ! Quick go to dessert for suprise dinner guests !

What a treat for the family tonight. The kids had friends over and even one said "boy are ya'll lucky to have a mom who makes desserts like this!" (Yes she said ya'll :) ). A great treat for us all. I used "Recipe #104611" for the cookies as I don't purchase store bought cookies. It worked perfectly fine. Thanks Paula for a special treat for us this summer! Tagged in Newest Zaar Tag game.
