Chocolate fudge cookie dough

While doing research on something to bake, I found out that cookie dough could be eaten without being baked. And according to wiki its good comfort food, especially for women! Since I was going to meet corrine, yesterday, I decided to make this for her. I made some changes to the recipe because I really dont like chocolate chips. I think they are over priced just because of their shape. So I used M&Ms and Hersheys kisses as a substitute.

Hersheys kisses look like the figures for a board game. The lines are there because I had to plan where to place the hersheys kisses such that three colours are in one cube.

All sliced and ready to go.

Serves 24

• 1/3 cup margarine, melted
• 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1 pinch salt
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 pack of M&M min
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup semisweet mini chocolate chips, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, and set aside.
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 pack of M&Ms minis. 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.
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.
4. Mix together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar in a bowl until smooth, and stir in the melted chocolate chips and vanilla extract.
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.
