Ice cream is my go-to sweet tooth craving. I can always be in the mood, and as my dad used to say, it can always fill in the cracks. This ice cream is over the top. A simple milk chocolate base with brownies, caramel, and pretzels goes to another level. With sweet, smooth, and delicious flavors, it’s the best way to end Ice Cream Week!

If you’re looking for recipes for the add-ins, try my brownie recipe and my caramel recipe.

This is an addicting treat, and once that has become my guilty pleasure!
