I substituted white chocolate chips for the vanilla chips. The family loved it!

Delicious! Easy-to-make and fast. Used chocolate sprinkles rather than the colored ones. Rave reviews from all. They couldn't believe how easy this is to make! The half batch doesn't go very far, but a great way to try a new recipe. Definitely a keeper!
