Ever since Steve mixed candy into ice cream in Somerville, MA in the 1980's - America has fallen in love with all things ice creamy and candified.  Trouble with all the chocolate chips, snickers, and reeses pieces... is ... not just the 1200-1400 calories... but zero nutrition and more than a day's worth of fat and sugar, too.

Here's a way to enjoy the sweet on sweet of a candy ice cream treat without going completely off track.  This is not your breakfast shake... and not really a great substitute for lunch or dinner either - but we all have our days and I won't hold it against you if you're having one of those.  Think of this recipe as a great alternative to a Cold Stone Creamery disaster... you'll save some calories and get some nutrition while you are at it.

Try freezing this recipe for 1/2 hour to overnight to achieve just the thickness you crave - and you can even add a little Chocolate Fudge Fat Free Sugar Free Jello Pudding to the mix if you plan to freeze it solid.  (The Jello helps it melt creamier)
