A Better Than Snickers Milkshake for Halloween[Photographs: Autumn Giles]
This extra-thick milkshake has all the flavors of a classic Snickers bar: caramel, chocolate, and peanuts.
Why this recipe works:
- A generous serving of caramel ice cream yields an extra-thick shake.
- Crunchy chopped peanuts on top are a textural match for a Snickers bar, while smooth peanut butter blended in the shake makes for rich peanut butter flavor.
- Unsweetened cocoa powder works to add a punch of chocolate flavor without amping up the sippable dessert's sweetness.
Note: Allow the ice cream to soften on the counter for 5 minutes before scooping.
Ingredients
- 3 cups caramel ice cream, such as Häagen-Dazs
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
- Caramel sauce, storebought or homemade
- Whipped cream, for garnish
- Chopped peanuts, for garnish
