Deni Automatic Ice Cream Maker with Candy Crusher, $60

“I like it chunky,” said one candy-loving tester, who deemed this machine her favorite of the bunch. Freeze the canister, add ingredients, then drop M&M’s, peppermints, nuts, or — live dangerously! — pretzels into the built-in chopper to get flavorful flecks. About 8 inches wide and 14 inches high.
