Fancy Milk Shakes

Fancy Milk ShakesMy daughters have been browsing their cookbooks again.  When they asked for a snack in the afternoon, I suggested they make the milk shakes they found in their Southern Living Kids Cookbook.  Aren’t they pretty?

Measuring the chocolate chipsFirst we made the chocolate for the rims.  We used 3/4 cup of chocolate chips (and we had quite a bit left over).

Microwave melted chocolateHeat the chocolate chips in the microwave for about one minute or until the chips are just beginning to melt.  Then stir them quickly until the chocolate is smooth.

dip glass in chocolateOne at a time dip the rim of the glass in the chocolate…

add sprinklesand quickly sprinkle the candies over the chocolate.

Fancy chocolate rimTip:  Have everything ready and work quickly because the chocolate hardens really fast.  Since I was taking photos it took us longer, and I had to thin the chocolate with a little whipping cream and a few more seconds in the microwave.

Milk shakeWhile the chocolate hardens, make the milk shake.  We made French vanilla!  Add 3 cups of ice cream to a blender.

add milkAlso add one cup of milk and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.  Blend until smooth.

pour the milk shakesPour the milk into prepared glasses and enjoy!  The milk shake recipe made about 4 one half cup servings.

enjoy a milk shakeAnd YES they enjoyed the special treat!

The chocolate rims would be challenging for younger kids, but with help it was a hit!  The milk shake was so easy that very young kids would enjoy making these.  My twelve-year-old daughter is already talking about what she wants to add next time to make other flavors!

These were delicious, and the fancy chocolate rim added to the fun!
