  • Scoop about 1/3 of the ice cream into a 2 QT container, then drizzle about 1/3 of the peanut butter over the top of the ice cream. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the muddy buddies and gently stir..
  • Repeat with more ice cream, more peanut butter, more muddy buddies. Then the final layer of more ice cream, peanut butter, and muddy buddies.
  • Cover the ice cream and place it in the freezer for 6 hours, or overnight, for a thicker, harder, hand scooped ice cream.
