Peanut butter cup soft serve

I find any excuse I can to make this ice cream. But really, do you need an excuse to make ice cream? I don't think so. If you're having a good day, reward yourself with ice cream. If you're having a bad day, use ice cream as a pick-me-up. If you just found out you have a twelve page paper due at midnight, use ice cream to help wash down the fact that you probably aren't going to finish that paper.* Regardless of the circumstance, this ice cream is sure to make you feel all nice and tingly inside. Even if your goldfish dies. You'll be like, AHHHH!!!!!! What am I supposed to do with this fishbowl? Uhh, fill it with peanut butter cup soft serve, that's what.

This is the perfect sweet treat when you want to indulge.. at midnight - it's not completely horrible for you and is comprised of mostly natural ingredients. I usually make this sans the chocolate additions, but on extra special occasions, like when I bring home a pint of ice cream for the mister, I'll throw in a handful of chocolate chips and a peanut butter cup so I don't feel like I'm missing out on all the fun.

*This is not about me.
