Begin by freezing your ice cream maker canister. It is very important that it is completely frozen. Otherwise follow your ice cream maker instructions. If you do not have an ice cream maker, get one, seriously, get one.

Once the ice cream canister is frozen, add the milk and sugar to a mixing bowl. Mix with a whisk until all of the sugar dissolves. Add in the vanilla extract and the heavy cream.

Remove the canister from the freezer. Assemble your ice cream maker, turn it on, and add your ice cream mixture. Let the mixer spin for at least 30 minutes or according to manufacturer's instructions. You will begin to see the ice cream coming together.

After 30 minutes of churning, add the peanut butter and chocolate chips into a bowl. Place in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just to slightly soften and melt the chips. Use a spoon and begin drizzling the mixture into the ice cream, using about half of the mixture. Let this spin for about five minutes. Stop the ice cream maker, then remove the paddle from the ice cream maker, and fold in the remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter.

Take a bite, then back away quickly as you will be tempted to eat the whole bowl!

Next, spoon the mixture into an airtight container and place in the freezer until you are ready to serve. I bought some pint size ice cream containers in the past, just to add a bit more excitement when the kids open the freezer looking for a treat.

The flavor is great. You get the classic vanilla flavor, and hardened chunks of chocolate and peanut butter that are just perfect for chewing on, or sucking on; much like sucking on a spoon of peanut butter. And what kid does not like that?
