Butterfinger Ice Cream

My new all time favorite ice cream!

1 1/8 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup milk (I use skim)
3 cups heavy cream (I use fat free half and half)
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
4 Butterfingers

Using a hand mixer, mix the sugar and milk on low speed until the sugar dissolves. Add cream and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Pour into ice cream maker for 20 minutes. Crush Butterfingers. Add into ice cream maker and run for 5 more minutes. Put in freezer for 3 hours to firm up.

Crock Pot Sesame Wings

These are super yummy and the meat just falls off the bone. J always claims all the chicken bits left swimming in the sauce. I forgot to get a picture. I will post one next time I make them.

Ingredients:

4 lbs chicken wings, split
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
6 tbsp soy sauce
1/3 cup veggie oil
1-2 tbsp red pepper flake (more if you like it spicy)

In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil and add the sesame seeds. Toast seeds slightly (careful not to burn them) stirring constantly until they just start to toast. Then add garlic and sautee for 1-2 minutes. Add sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, oil and red pepper flake. Stir and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 5 minutes.

While simmering, put chicken wings in crock pot. Pour sauce over chicken. Cook on low for 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
