  • Stir together peanut butter and syrup in a medium to large sized bowl.

  • Scoop and press ice cream into bottom "crust".
  • Top with remaining "crust" mixture.
  • Return to freezer.
  • Remove from freezer 5 minutes before serving.
  • Optional: Serve drizzled with chocolate syrup and sprinkled with peanuts.
  • I usually prefer this without either the chocolate syrup or the peanuts, but it's great either way!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Although I love to cook and bake, I'm MOST passionate about my family. Thirteen years ago, I married my best friend, and I believe we love each other more now than ever. We have three (of course, beautiful) children ages 7, 4 and 2 years old. We live in a small town (at almost 7,000 feet in altitude), and are happy to report that we live over 100 miles (one way) from the nearest WALMART! :) <br> <br>Besides keeping my family and friends well-fed :), I love to read and scrapbook. Our area is very well-suited to outdoor activities, so our family enjoys brisk, long walks or hikes, as well as challenging bike rides through our hilly terrain. (After bearing 3 children - and ESPECIALLY after locating this FABULOUS website - I think I'll have to make a determined effort to concentrate more on the exercise!) ;)
