This dessert comes together in about 30 minutes, if your making the cookies at the same time.

I make this when I have cookies that are a few days old and are getting a little stale.

If you use cookies that you already have this dessert can be on your table in half the time.

Another one of my versatile recipes, the combinations on this  simple and quick dessert are many.

Try it with oatmeal cookies or peanut butter cookies and chocolate ice cream.

Try different toppings like whipped cream and caramel sauce, sprinkle almonds, walnuts or coconut, it’s easy to make it your own.

I make the chocolate sauce by melting 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/3 cup manufacturing cream.

In keeping with my simple, quick recipes you can use Hersey chocolate syrup.

I like simple easy recipes that come together with things I have on hand avoiding waste by using the same ingredients indifferent ways.

Try your version of this simply delicious dessert,  leave me comment let me know if you tried it.
