Butterfinger Ice Cream

This ice cream has quickly become everyone’s favorite around here.  There’s something for everyone to like here: smooth, creamy peanut butter ice cream, with sweet and crunchy chunks of Butterfinger in every spoonful.

Not a fan of peanut butter?  Not to worry.  There’s only a light peanut butter base here, so it doesn’t overpower the ice cream at all.  Don’t like egg-based ice creams?  This is egg-free!  Plus, you only need 4 basic ingredients to make this, so there’s really no reason why you shouldn’t make it!

Serve this on a warm brownie or by itself after a BBQ.

You know you want need this ice cream!
