Heat the mixture, whisking frequently, until it comes to a full, rolling boil (it will start to foam up...so keep an eye...it'll overflow quickly)! Remove from the heat and whisk in the peanut butter, stirring until thoroughly blended.

Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

At the point the mixture has begun to thicken in your ice cream maker (~10-15 mins.), add these beauties in!

On a separate note, can I tell you how much I love the new Ice Cream Maker (like that, only black) I recently bought on clearance ($15.00!) at Walmart. This one only requires me to put the bowl in the freezer. My old one needed ice and salt and it was just plain annoying to use...which is probably why I only used it twice...yeah, 2x! That's it. I mean, maybe I'm just lazy, but sheesh...anybody want it (after that glowing review)??
