Snickers has always been on the top of my list – as far as candy bars are concerned. When I was pregnant with T, I could have eaten one of these everyday – oh wait…I did. So when the peanut butter Snickers came out, I was in heaven. I don’t know why it took me so long, but I was in an ice cream making mindset and, while I was standing in line to buy a potty seat for T, I saw these babies. Instantly, it clicked: Peanut Butter Snickers ice cream.
Chello? How has this not happened sooner? Let the choir of angels sing …
Look at the chunks of deliciousness here. All the goodness that is the Snickers combined with peanut butter. What could go wrong? I made my ice cream SUPER chunky – because I wanted to be overwhelmed with the Snickers flavor, but you could always add less, so you can actually taste the ice cream with a hint of Peanut Butter Snickers, instead of the other way around? Totally your call. I say go big or go away. Not home. Just away.
You really can’t go wrong with my Vanilla Bean base – it’s what I use for everything. Remember my Krispy Kreme ice cream a few weeks ago? YUP. Easy peasy, mix whatever you pleasey. Peanut Butter Snickers ice cream – here we come!

In the last 5 minutes of chilling, add your chopped Snickers and put it back in the fridge.

Turn your ice cream machine on, pour the chilled custard into the freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, 25-30 minutes.

LOVE YOU!!!
You had me at peanut butter!!! This looks crazy good!!
Love you Alli – trust me, try this and you WON”T be disappointed. SO good!
Oh my hubby would love this! he is a snicker fan through and through!
Question for you… how do you create the recipe card layout?
Amber, it’s a plugin called WordPress Print This Section and you just put [print_this] at the beginning of the recipe and [/print_this] at the end. Super simple!
Yum! I love peanut butter snickers, and this ice cream looks so good! No peanut butter added though? It looks so peanut buttery. And we have raw milk in our fridge right now (first time trying it out!) Now I need to make ice cream!
No peanut butter added! Just straight up Snickers (Peanut butter Snickers). And you have raw milk! AH! PERFECT!!
This looks delish!!! I am so pinning this to make later.
Love you Summer – Thanks for the love!!!
Yum!! This sounds amazing! I just got an ice cream maker, so I can’t wait to try this out 🙂
Lindsey – I saw that you just got an ice cream maker and I was SO excited for you! Let me know if/when you try this!
I would just like to say, that when you were pregnant with TRae, and I sent you that package for her….I’m pretty sure I put peanut butter snickers in the package too. Maybe I made this up just now. But I feel like it could be true.
Love,
Miss Swan
Haha Lisa!! It totally could be true! My brain doesn’t remember, but I don’t doubt it. You’re far too generous a friend and I love you!!
