Butter Brickle Ice Cream

 This is a family favorite flavor, especially my son, Joe's.  It is practically impossible to find to this is the second time I have made it at home, and it's really a good copycat recipe.  I've made it for his birthday twice now, along with his annual confetti angel food cake, and it's completely gone each time.  It isn't a large batch though, but works perfectly in my little 1 quart Rival ice cream maker.  Decided to put it on here in case I can't find the recipe going forward.
