YIELD Makes 8 sandwiches

INGREDIENTS

1 package (18-1/4 ounces) chocolate cake mix with pudding in the mix 2 eggs 1/4 cup warm water 3 tablespoons butter, melted 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened Colored sugars or sprinkles

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 13X9-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line pan with foil and spray foil.
2. Beat cake mix, eggs, water and melted butter in large bowl with electric mixer until well blended. (Dough will be thick and sticky.) Spoon dough into prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and press dough evenly into pan, using plastic wrap to keep hands from sticking to dough. Remove plastic wrap and prick surface all over with fork (about 40 times) to prevent dough from rising too much.

4. Cut cookie in half crosswise; remove one half from pan. Spread ice cream evenly over cookie half remaining in pan. Top with second half; use foil in pan to wrap up sandwich.
5. Freeze at least 4 hours. Cut into 8 equal pieces; dip cut ends in sugar or sprinkles. Wrap and freeze sandwiches until ready to serve.
