Ingredients:
I am makeing a Reeces Cup Blizzard, but this recipe can be adjusted with any flavor of ice cream and a candy bar or cookie!
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Supplies:
The most important step to making a Blizzard at home is to use a stand mixer.
When using a blender, too much milk is needed to get the ice cream to blend and then it is just a milkshake.
A handheld mixer isn't a great option either, you really want a sturdy stand mixer. I used my KitchenAid.
Instructions:
Before mixing, place the mixing bowl, and candy in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before.
Cut the Reese's cups into bite sized pieces. Since they are frozen they will cut nicely and wont smush.
This recipe doesn't have any measurements because I believe you should always measure with your heart when making a blizzard.
This ensures the perfect ice cream to candy ratio.
Add vanilla ice cream to the frozen mixing bowl.
Add the cut up candy to the bowl.
Attach the flat beater or equivalent to the stand mixer.
Set the mixer to a low setting, I only went to two.
Continue to stir until the candy is well mixed in.
Don't over mix. The ice cream will become soft and the candy may become mushy.
Spoon the Blizzard into your cup or serving container.
Don't forget! You must serve it upside down!

Notes
Our Baking Essential List
- We use Glass Baking Dishes for baking casseroles. I especially like the dishes with lids because leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
- Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
- A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
- This Knife Set will also become your favorite! The knives cut beautifully, and the hollow design prevents food from sticking to the blade.

Great idea! Not sure if my ancient blender could handle it, but I think I'd love crushing the candy bars with the meat mallet.
