:: Malted Caramel Chocolate Shake ::

My milkshake brings all the kids to door {that’s right you know the Missy Elliott Milkshake tune}….hum along and you will get the picture! This Malted Caramel Chocolate Shake is pretty tasty and a fun family treat, made even better with the addition of Chocolate Scottie Dogs from Walkers Shortbread. I made this fun shake as an ode to a Valentine’s shake that we missed having. I promised the kids a fun homemade treat for Valentine’s, but as a family we went away for a couple nights {a fun mini trip, while we were doing a little work around the house}, so I wasn’t able to fully get into the Valentine’s Day spirit with our usual dine in tradition. This shake would have been the dessert I would have enjoyed with my sweethearts.

Aren’t these the cutest little cookies you have ever seen? Sara and I love that Walkers Shortbread made a special cookie that gives proceeds back to the ASPCA. I thought these buttery chocolate chip infused Scottie Dogs would be the perfect ingredient to my milkshake, or should I call it malt? Oh my if I was working at Ruby’s, I might be corrected, as I combined my family’s favorite flavors of; malted vanilla ice cream, caramel, milk, and these little cookie gems. Homemade ice cream or store bought…you pick because this Malted Caramel Chocolate Shake is tastalicious!You can make this recipe within minutes. I made my Malted Vanilla Ice Cream ahead of time as my kids love their ice cream. We seem to always have some in our freezer. If you don’t have the time, store bought is simple and tasty too.

All you need is a package of Walkers Shortbread Chocolate Scottie Dogs, caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, and milk.
