Ice cream is one of my weaknesses. I love how many flavor combinations you can create with homemade ice cream. I love peanut butter ice cream – the way the saltiness of the peanut butter balances the sweetness of the ice cream.

I often add mini chocolate chips to our peanut butter ice cream because the girls like them so much. This recipe would also be really good with some crunched up pretzels. The flavor would be very similar to Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby – one of my all time favorite store bought ice creams.

So next time you want a decadent, sweet and salty ice cream for dessert, give this Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Ice Cream recipe a try. Let me know what you think after you try it!
