Flavor #26 - Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunch

I adapted this from a recipe I found online where the ice cream flavor was originally peanut butter. I have now tried a number of peanut butter flavor recipes and none of them have gone well other than Scoop Dogg. The idea of the added chocolate peanut butter crunch was what attracted me to this from the beginning.

1 Cup of Heavy Cream

1 Cup of Milk

1/2 Cup of Sugar

2/3 Teaspoon of Vanilla

1 Pinch of Salt

The chocolate peanut butter crunch was simple to make but I did learn an important lesson about this min-in. As we are staying away from Clark W. Griswald's food additives and preservatives, I found that a batch with this mix-in needs to be eaten within a day or two before it loses it's crunch.

3/4 Cup of Puffed Rice Cereal

2oz. Milk Chocolate

1/4 Cup of Peanut Butter

Melt the chocolate and peanut butter in the microwave. Pour the cereal on a stick-proof cookie sheet and smooth out the cereal before pouring the chocolate peanut butter mix over the cereal. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the top of the mixture and put the sheet in the freezer for an hour of so.  Before adding the crunch mix to the ice cream, peel the mix off the cookie sheet and chop it into bite sized pieces. 

Depending on your individual taste, you can adjust the amount of chocolate or peanut butter in the mix. I tried this in other flavors of ice cream, but found it was best in vanilla.

Enjoy!
