Butterfinger Ice Cream
1 can condensed milk
¾ cup smooth
peanut butter
whole milk
1 pint heavy
whipping cream
6 (2.1 oz.) large
Butterfinger candy bars
Mash Butterfinger bars
until mixture is crumb consistency. Makes one gallon.
Stir condensed milk and peanut butter together until smooth. Add whipping cream and fill with milk until about three-fourths of the way to the fill line. Stir in Butterfinger mixture. Finish filling with milk to the fill line and mix well. Freeze according to the manufacturer’s directions.
Andy’s Note: Stacy said that she uses 2 percent milk instead of whole and also buys fun-size Butterfingers. She puts them in the fridge until they are cold, hits them with the backside of a spoon to mash them, open the packages, and pour them into a bowl. I usually use around 20-22 fun-size bars. She said this is one of their favorites! At her family and church gatherings, she always gets requests to bring this wonderful ice cream.
Thank you, Stacy Hall!

Andy’s Note: I can not say enough about this ice cream. It needs to be made and refrigerated the day before it is served. My sister, Mary, reminded me this morning how she would watch mother stir this mixture in the big pot. Memories! Memories!
I want to thank all of you for sending me these wonderful ice cream recipes.
Happy Cooking, Andy
