DH enjoys rum raisin ice cream so I chose this as a treat for him. I went just by the recipe using dark run and full sugar. It came out beautifully, it's smooth, very creamy and looks like it came from an expensive ice cream store. DH says that it tasted like it did too :D. Made for Rita's win in Hidden Treasure Bonus of February's Sun and Spice Event in the Na/Me forum.
