Buckeye Ice Cream

I typically have at least one ice cream in the freezer at all times and most of those times I have to beg my husband to at least try a bite and give me his opinion. However, with this ice cream I did not have to beg, once he found out what kind of ice cream it was he was eating a bowlful of it and claimed it to be the best ice cream I have ever made! You see my husband is a big peanut butter fan, so most things I make with peanut butter is a hit with him.

I will say this ice cream is very good. The peanut butter flavor is not overpowering, it is just the right amount of flavor and the accent of chocolate just makes it better.
