Drizzled with melted chocolate, this frosty family favorite from Carol Marnach in Sioux Falls, South Dakota couldn’t be much easier to prepare. "My husband and three sons love it so much that we even use our grill to make it on camping trips—or during the hot summer months when I don’t like turning on the oven," she says.

This was absolutely delicious and won rave reviews at my church potluck. The only thing I would do differently is be sure to grease the pan before putting in the cookie dough - otherwise it's almost impossible to serve.

This is so good! I just have to write one suggestion and that is DO NOT use "fat free or light" pudding mix, it DOES NOT work! Also, instead of nuts or English toffee bits, I just crush up Skor bars. Such a good dessert and so easy to make!

Only bake for 14 minutes max as the dough gets very hard and therefore hard to remove from bottom of pan.

This is delicious! Though I will grease my casserole dish next time and bake 14 instead of 16 min. The cookie dough stuck and we had a terrible time getting it out to serve.
