Hi everyone, couldn't think of the right place to post it but the recipe section seems like the most adequate fit as I am creating a "recipe" of sorts. I'm trying to make an all chocolate take on the traditional Neapolitan ice cream that has chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla thirds.
Only since someone is allergic to strawberry and everyone is a chocolate lover I am making all thirds chocolate with just different things mixed into each third.
What are your favorite mix-ins for chocolate ice cream. (*bonus points if it actually makes the ice cream look significantly different so as to make the thirds easily distinguishable when scooping and choosing.)

**M$M's
**Trader Joe's mini peanut butter cups
**Thin Mint cookies crushed in
**Granola
** rice krispies....sounds weird but is actually good
**Crushed oreos:regular ones, vanilla ones, peanut butter ones or mint .
**mini marshmallows
**almonds
Ok so none of these are healthy but in moderation it is all good!!!
Good luck with your idea....sounds really good!!!!0 -
Reese's. White chocolate. .cherries. or strawberries0

Oops forgot about the allergy raspberries would be good.0

Oh they don't have to be healthy, they just have to be yummy. and popular &/or interesting would be cool too. Thanks for these awesome Ideas so far, I don't know how I managed to forget how much guest of honor loves raspberries! ha!0

Chocolate covered raisins
candy corn
crushed oreos

so far I am most wow'ed by the following ideas:
Rice krispies because so curious.
Oreo's because they come in b-day cake flavor and it's a cute interesting twist.
raspberries cause they are a fave for guest of honor.
Can't wait to see what other interesting Ideas people have tried.0 -

OMG, I am addicted to dark chocolate covered raisins and that was the first idea I had but didn't want to put anyone else off, but since it's in only a third I should be brave maybe and someone else might like it since I see you do.0 -
You could swirl peanut butter (or pb2) through it, and also add in some peanut butter chips?
Chopped pistachios, walnuts or almonds?
Mix in that dark chocolate covered fruit from Bookside? Ya know, the blueberry pomegrante or acai??
Frozen banana chunks?
Chocolate covered espresso beans?0 -
There is something about mixing in salty stuff to ice cream, especially chocolate icecream that I love.
Honey roasted peanuts
Arare (japanese rice crackers)
pretzels
plain potato chips (more of a topping tho)0 -
Could you make dark chocolate, milk chocolate and white chocolate ice cream?
I make Chocolate peanute butter ice creams...my favorite.
This past weekend I mixed chopped Kit Kats in.
White Chocolate Chips.0 -

I had the same inklings for something salty but was worried about pringles or chips getting soggy in there. Love the other ideas though, especially the nuts. that one sounds really good. and actually my mom has some peanut brittle...? hmm??0 -

the chocolate is already made and is a huge tub amount. AFTER the fact I thought of possibley swirling something in enough to change the color of two of the thirds. Like maybe dark chocolate sauce thoroughly blended in one to make it significantly darker. THen unsure how to lighten the other one. Peanut butter doesn't seem like enough but I'm wondering how a marshmallow creme swirl would do. Never ate frozen marshmallow creme? wonder if its gets sticky or gummy when frozen?0 -
SOUDNS yummyy! Im going to try these!
Any one interested in joining a "friendly" weight loss competition?:D MESSAGE ME!0 -

I kegel'd at this a little bit. It's actually a morning party so I think the idea of breakfast cereal mix in's is so apropos. Plus who am I kidding I fracking LOVE cocoa puffs and usually try to make any party a little bit of a throwback in some way. anything from old pics paper games from childhood to anything. This idea is SO ME.0 -

you mean together? cause YUM!0 -
Swirl carmel in one of the thirds?
Candy bar 'take' maybe:
-carmel and peanuts
-almonds and chocolate covered expresso beans or cappucino powder
-chopped up Reese's peanut butter cups and the rice krispies from above?0 -
just noticed thin mints got two votes so far. maybe I should start looking for a girl scout.0

Holy my gawd. I think I may have just found my "party favors". That way nobody can say I didn't feed their kid breakfast.

Okay so one third is finalized. IT will be chocolate ice cream with dulce de leche swirl with cocoa puffs in it for a "milk & cereal" theme. this is a fancy recipe but i'm just gonna used plain cocoa puffs as suggested here and canned dulce de leche.

Make your own rocky road?
I love chocolate ice cream with shredded coconut and caramel sauce myself.0 -
okay and for the other third I think I've decided to stay "breakfasty" with it and make this third dedicated to the grown ups in attendance. It will have folger's coffee crystals mixed completely and thoroughly in with chunks of this in it
who thinks I should use the ones with peanuts? who thinks peanuts will taste yuk with the coffee?
I do. I think just plain one's mixed into the coffee-chocolate ice cream will be yum. that's what I think. this third I will call "coffee and donuts" IDK why I feel so weird about having a party before noon? maybe I've never done it?
who thinks these donuts will get too hard when frozen and will be yuk?
who thinks they will be yum?
who thinks I've gone batty since newsfeed is down?
who doesn't care...cause....chocolate!0 -
I adore chocolate covered pomegranate seeds-- my favorite mix-in.
Also bumping for ideas.0 -

^ I vote for that one!
Oh, and add a teaspoon or two of cinnamon to the coffee. It works wonders.0 -
What about the other third being s'mores? Toasted graham crackers crumbles (on the stove top with butter), chunks of chocolate (or chips) and mini marshmallows (or marshmallow cream) all mixed in would be fantastic!0
