REVIEWS:

Substitute 3 3/4 cups of chocolate wafer crumbs for chocolate cream filled sandwich cookies. Makes it not as sweet, but still delicious.

YUM! We used semisweet chips, 7 cups ice cream, and 14 oz cookies, and those substitutions all worked fine. Great for St. Patrick's Day with green sprinkles on top!

Everyone liked this so much for Christmas dessert last year, that it will be a yearly tradition!!!

This was really good if you like mint chocolate chip ice cream. Everyone liked it. Some said it was very sweet though.
