I have used this site for years but never reviewed a recipe, until now!! This is great ice cream. I was a bit nervous as I only had fat free cool whip in the house and it usually makes my recipes flop, but not this one!! I don't know why I would try regular cool whip as it took some of the guilt out of this recipe. I also used 1% milk and only a half cup of sugar but may even reduce that to 1/4 cup next time. Added Oreos and it was perfect!! I love the fact that there is no eggs in this recipe as I have small children so taking the time to cook the ice cream is out of the question, and feeding the kids raw eggs makes me nervous. Thanks again for a GREAT recipe!!

I'm sorry, this was way too rich for us. It was like eating soft marshmallows. I made it without the candy. Can't imagine what it would be like with it. Must be 1000 calories a scoop.

Wow, this was great!! Tried a few ice cream recipes but this is the best. Used snickers in one and strawberries in the other both were excellent. Use only 1/2 cup of sugar.

Phew... I omitted some of the sugar and this recipe was still SOOO sweet. Even my boyfriend with Candy for teeth still thought it was too sweet. I don't recommend.

Super ice cream! I halved the sugar and it was still too sweet for my liking. I will leave out next time. Also, my ice cream machine instructions suggests using an electric mixer to increase the volume (for recipes that don't require cooking) I did this and almost did not have room for the milk! Stirred in oreo cookies towards the end. Threw it in the freezer and hope no one finds it until our get together! Love this recipe.

This was a wonderful recipe. I made it w/ crushed oreos instead of candy pieces. I also halved the sugar, as some reviews suggested and it was still a little too sweet. Next time I will leave out the sugar completely. The texture of the ice cream was what made it so amazing though!! Very light and fluffy and delicious!!

This is an awesome base for a lot of ice cream flavors. I have used a lot of different candy, including chocolate chips, candy bars, and cookies. I also use low fat or fat free ingredients (besides the candy, of course)and it tastes great.

This is wonderful ice cream and super easy (a big plus in my book). I used this recipe for an ice cream social where, like another contributor, I added chunks of York peppermint patties instead of candy coated chocolate. It turned out great, the ice cream had a hint of peppermint flavor with the bonus of candy chunks. I also tried with crushed Butterfingers and it was fabulous. I think that this is a great base ice cream with endless possibilities. Please note that the recipe says the prep time is 3 hours and 5 minutes...using my ice cream freezer there was 5 minutes of prep (if even that) and 45 minutes of freezing...so it is quick, too. This is definately a keeper.

My husband and I LOVE this recipe! I use light whipped topping and skim milk. Even creamier with half-and-half. We have used this basic recipe to make strawberry, chocolate chip, and peanutbutter/chocolate swirl ice cream. YUM!
