I bought this gadget called Artic Freeze this summer, it is soooo cool. You have all had a mcflurry right? It is the same concept, you put in your favorite ice cream, layer it with cookies, candies, whatever you can imagine. Then turn the thing on and it mixes it all up and it comes out as soft serve!
I made the BEST flavor the other night, vanilla and added some peanut butter and chocolate chips, a Reeses PB knockoff!!

Sounds very cool! Its like a milkshake maker right? I would just use a blender and some milk but hey whatever floats your boat ^_^

No,not at all like a milkshake machine. It is like a mcflurry machine - takes the ice cream and mixes in whatever you choose to put into it and then extrudes it out similar to a soft serve machine.
A blender would be much too powerful to make the same consistency. I actually bought it at a thrift store (it was still in the box) for only $8.00 but I'm pretty sure you can get them at Target or Walmart, probably less than 20 bucks!

Oh my goodness, that sounds awesome! You would have to say that when I've just yesterday put my foot down and am determined to quit stuffing my chubby face with all the sweets I can get my hand on.
I love to mix up my own ice cream concoctions too. I put peanut butter and chocolate sauce and mix it all in and add walnuts. Yum!

That sounds really yummy. I love soft serve ice cream. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the machine? It would be so good to make a pan of brownies and and those and chocolate syrup to the vanilla ice cream. Of well, I'm making myself hungry just thinking of the possible combinations.
