Jeni's Honeyed Peanut Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Freckles (a.k.a The Buckeye State Ice Cream)

I have a confession to make: I'm not above sucking up to my boss on occasion. I recently attended a work potluck, and knowing that my boss is from Ohio, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make this ice cream from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home. Not only is Ohio nicknamed The Buckeye State, the Buckeyes are also the team of The Ohio State University, which happens to be my boss's alma matter. Most importantly, a buckeye is a confection made of peanut butter coated in chocolate, the same magical flavor combination employed in this ice cream. But is it good enough to inspire a promotion? You'll have to try it for yourself to find out.

Baked Rhubarb Frozen Yogurt

My husband and I took a trip to Nashville around this time last year, where we visited Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. The chain is known for using high quality and somewhat unconventional ingredients. While there I sampled about 10 different flavors, and they were all outstanding. I was so impressed that I purchased their cookbook to see if I could recreate the magic at home. This is the first recipe I've attempted since I buying the book and it did not disappoint. When you think of frozen yogurt, the word rich may not be the first adjective to come to mind, but the addition of cream cheese makes this froyo some of the most decadent I've ever had.
