Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
• ⅓ cup margarine, melted
• ⅔ cup light brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup semisweet mini chocolate chips
• 1 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips, melted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, and set aside.

Step 2

To make the cookie dough pieces, mix the melted margarine, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir in the flour to make a dough, and knead in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips. Form the dough into a disk about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick, place it on a sheet of plastic wrap, and then shape the disk into a square with your hands.

Step 3

Place the square piece of dough in the freezer for about 10 minutes, until cold and stiff, and then slice it into 1/2 inch square pieces. Refrigerate the dough pieces while you make the cream cheese fudge.

Step 4

Mix together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth, and stir in the melted chocolate chips and vanilla extract.

Step 5

Lightly fold in the cookie dough pieces, and spread the candy out into the prepared dish. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, or until firm, and remove the candy from the foil-lined dish. Cut into squares, and serve.
