I actually spread this mixture out into a cookie sheet covered with sprayed foil to make one large cookie to cut into bars.
I used the other 1/2 of the cream cheese and 1 container of s/f white frosting and microwaved for 35 seconds until cream cheese frosting mixture was soft. Mix well. Add sprinkles and pour over cookie bar base. Sprinkle with a few more sprinkles. Let cool for 1 hour.
