I was lazy and actually made this in a 13x9 cake pan. I lined the bottom with parchment and I am so glad I did. When I turned the cake out and peeled off the paper it was beautiful with the chips peeking through the cake. I let it cool, cut it in squares and stored them in a tupperware container. The pieces went easily into plastic sandwich bags and off with the lunches they went! No mess! No fork! No problem!
