Make Your Own Shamrock Shakes!

Check out this great recipe I found on the local newspaper's website! I am a HUGE fan of the Shamrock (mint) shake but since my local McDonald's milkshake machine is NEVER in working order I've been thinking about how I could make my own. I was super excited when I learned that the Post Gazette was going to feature this recipe. Check it out and let me know what you think! I hope to make it soon! Sorry in advance that the video is so large but I can't figure out how to resize this one!

    I've never had a Shamrock shake. But they sound good...I think if I tried making this at home I would cheat a bit. Get some choc. mint ice cream instead of vanilla so I wouldn't have to mess with the extract and food coloring. ;)

    Gina- I totally felt like calling HQ and complaining! It was literally 2 weeks after they first started making the shakes that I was able to get one from my local McDonalds, their machine was down that long!

    Angie, my mom said the same thing but I said I wasn't sure how I'd feel about the chocolate.

    XOXO~ Renee

    Those shake machines must be a nationwide problem. They never work here either.
