- ⅓ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Optional Ingredients
- red gel food coloring a few drops, food coloring gives the milkshake the pink color
- whipped cream topping
- maraschino cherries topping on the whipped cream
Instructions
- Add ice cream, milk, peppermint candy and a few drops of red food coloring (optional) to a blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
- Place the chocolate chips in the blender. Pulse the blender a few times until the chocolate chips are just combined.
- Pour the blended milkshake into glasses. Top with optional whipped cream, maraschino cherry and extra crushed peppermint candy. Enjoy!
Notes
If you have peppermint candy pieces that are not crushed and you have a high speed blender or food processor you can quickly crush the candy pieces before adding the rest of the ingredients with a few pulses. If the blender isn't a high powdered blender though the peppermint pieces may clump in the bottom.
Peppermint candy pieces can also be placed in a freezer zip-top bag and broken into pieces with a rolling pin or a heavy canned good (like a soup can).
