I had a hard time finding brownie chunks at the store. I ended up just using chocolate chips instead. The ice cream bars still turned out great, but I think they would have been even better with brownie chunks.

These ice cream bars were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a darker chocolate.
