a milkshake!! Can you believe that? Last night in the middle of dinner (soup and soda crackers) as I was eating a soda cracker, I remembered how much I loved them with chocolate milkshakes as a kid and teenager.
So, if you make them, what would make the very best chocolate milkshake in the world?? I want to do this.

I think the biggest key is to use much more ice cream than you think you need. A good milkshake uses a lot of ice cream. Not a time to be concerned with calories or you might as well skip it.
Sometimes I add a little bit of the Starbucks instant coffee powder to a milkshake. Mocha = yum.

Yes, a little espresso powder!! I would be using frozen yogurt - I haven't bought ice cream in 20 years.
Since I'm so crazy about Hershey's cocoa flavor in baked goods, I'm thinking a deep chocolate sauce using it as the flavor would be really good!?

A little Ibarra Mexican chocolate with a splash of Kahlua? You've now got me thinking of milkshakes.

Ibarra: great stuff!

Ibarra, hmmm, yes would be good.

Jean I always liked a chocolate malt. I worked as a soda jerk for a while in high school. A malt or milk shake was a quarter, a sundae was fifty cents, and a banana split was seventy five cents. Also you could go to a movie with a quarter--9 cents admission, a nickle bag of popcorn, a nickel coke and a nickel pickle with change.

My mother always ordered chocolate malts while my sis and I always got chocolate shakes, don't know why I never really cared for the malts.
(I remember prices like that, also!

If you got caught with a nickel bag and a nickel of coke, nowadays, you'd be in big trouble!
