Butterfinger Ice Cream

A huge hit with the Ariel contingent, this recipe contains creamy peanut butter and a butterscotch jell-o for thickness, plus cocoa powder for... well, because chocolate is awesome. The resulting flavor combination is very similar to butterfinger candy bars, except it doesn't get stuck in your teeth.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup Splenda or equivalent sweetener
2 cups milk
1/2 packet sugar-free butterscotch instant jell-o pudding

Place the peanut butter, cocoa powder, and sweetener in a mixing bowl. Add about 1/4 cup of the milk and mix into a paste. Add more milk, a tiny bit at a time, as necessary to make a smooth paste, stirring with a whisk or a fork. Then keep adding little bits of milk until it's the thickness of syrup. At that point, you can add the rest of the milk all at once.

Add the jell-o powder and mix thoroughly.

The mix is complete! Now just put it into the ice cream maker and freeze according to the directions. This is a good candidate for Smucker's excellent sugar free caramel sundae syrup, or my homemade hot fudge sauce.
