Peppermint Bon Bon

A childhood favorite, this peppermint bon bon is sure to bring back many happy memories!  And eating it in a cone really put this one over the top!  Yum!

2 cups soy vanilla frozen dessert
2 tbsp peppermint syrup
1 tsp vanilla soy milk
green/neon green food coloring

3 tbsp Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional: Cake cone

Makes: four large cones

1: Blend all ingredients together (except chocolate chips) until smooth.  I blended half of the ingredients, then added the other half in so as not to overheat my blender. 

2: Add chocolate chips and pulse a few times, but don't blend too long because you don't want the ice cream to turn brown!

Note: I noticed the longer I blended, the warmer the mixture became until it was the consistency of a shake.  I chose to put this treat into the freezer (in an air-tight container) for a few hours to harden it up again before I scooped it.  Also, the food coloring is optional, but I added it in for visual appeal... looks so minty!
