This is actually a really great recipe and I enjoyed it. I added mini peanut butter cups to mine because I like candy chunks in my ice cream. Basically just wait until the mix starts thickening up a bit in the ice cream machine, then add your candy of choice if you wish to do so. Again, lovely recipe!
