This recipe came from my mother-in-law who made vanilla ice cream this way for many years. My husband loves butterfingers so in our ice cream maker he decided to add crushed up butterfingers. The kids won't let him make it any other way now! We make this in a 5-gallon electric ice cream maker. NOTE: This recipe does use raw eggs.
