One of our favorite ice cream recipes is for peppermint ice cream. You will need; 1 lb. Brach's peppermint buttons, 4 cups milk(whole), 1 pint whipping cream and 1 pint half and half. In a blender,put 2 cups of the milk. Start the blender and then add the unwrapped peppermint buttons slowly.You will probably want your blender on a high setting to make sure all the buttons are crushed. Empty into a container. Put remaining milk(2cups) into blender and swish around. Add to peppermint mixture in container and let sit in refrigerator overnight. When ready to make, stir in the 1 pint heavy whipping cream and the half and half. Churn in ice cream maker and enjoy!! So refreshing on a warm day!!
