This is SUPER easy and the kids are sure to love it!  If you like, add carmel sauce, whipped cream and a cherry, but I think they'll like it just fine the way it is!

•   1 (18 ounce) package small chocolate chip cookies
•    1/4 c. margarine, melted
•    1 c. hot fudge topping
•    2 quarts vanilla/chocolate chip ice cream
•    1 pkg cookie dough

   1. Crush half the cookies (about 20) to make crumbs.
   2. Combine crumbs with melted margarine and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie plate.
   3. Stand remaining cookies around edge of pan.
   4.  Spread 3/4 c. fudge topping over crust. Freeze 15 minutes.
   5. Meanwhile, soften 1 quart of ice cream in microwave or on countertop.
   6. Break up the cookie dough into small pieces (as much or as little as you like) and place in a mixing bowl with the 1 quart of ice cream.
   7. Mix the ice cream and cookie dough on a low speed and be sure cookie dough is evenly distributed.
   8. After crust has chilled, spread softened cookie dough ice cream over fudge layer.
   9. Freeze 30 minutes.
  10. Scoop remaining 1 quart of ice cream into balls and arrange over ice cream layer.
  11. Freeze until firm, 4 hours or overnight.
  12. To serve, garnish with remainder of fudge topping, whipped cream and cherries, if desired. 

Enjoy!
