Caramel Candy Ice Cream
Big Daddy and I received an ice cream maker as a wedding gift when we got married. It broke years ago and I haven’t bothered to replace it until now. Ice Cream is not my ‘go to’ snack. Before I started this blog, I’d make ice cream only once or twice a year (about the same number of times I eat a burger!) What’s ironic about that is an ice cream recipe is a very popular post on Call Me PMc!
Don’t get me wrong, I like ice cream, I’d just rather have this or this or this for dessert.
A lot of things have changed since I started blogging, ahem, like my house not being clean for one! For two, I’m becoming more adventurous with food. I bought a Cuisinart ice cream maker in July. It’s very easy to use. We made Lemon Ice Cream, Caramel Crack Candy Ice Cream, and Hojicha Ice Cream.

I’m more of the ice-cream-with-mix-ins kind of girl. I decided my plain ol’ vanilla ice cream needed some pazzazz. Chocolate covered toffee and pretzel candy added just what it needed.
Crackers covered with buttery caramel (toffee) and chocolate. Alone, they are wonderful, you can’t quit (hence the name). After four, I made myself stop so I’d have enough for the ice cream and because I didn’t want to run 2 extras miles to get off the calories!
I just crunched the candy into coarse chunks and folded them into the ice cream while it was still soft. #nomz! It tastes a lot like
The crackers are encapsulated by the caramel preventing them from becoming soggy if you were wondering.
