- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Salted peanuts

Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder.
Heat the mixture until it begins to steam but do not allow it to boil.
Remove from the heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until fully melted and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and stir to combine.
Cool the mixture to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Churn the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once the ice cream has thickened (but is still soft), fold in the salted peanuts and swirl in the caramel sauce gently to create ribbons of caramel.
