Extreme Peppermint Milkshakes

You’re gonna either hate me or thank me for posting about these Extreme Peppermint Milkshakes! If you’re like me a few months ago when I first heard about these Extreme Milkshakes, you’re probably thinking I have lost my marbles. I mean, let’s go ahead & discuss the sugar coma that these #freakshakes are gonna bring to anyone. Let alone the kids, right? Well, I decided to drink the “very sugared koolaid” & join the extreme dessert cult. And since it’s the season of all things peppermint, I give you my own recipe for Extreme Peppermint Milkshake.

To be honest, I’m not really sure where the trend started. Maybe New York? At one of their dessert cafes, but I’ve been seeing them all over the internet and instagram. So I decided to give my kids a true shock & make these for them.

Mine aren’t even really extreme if you look through pinterest, but I thought I would make it as real as possible. My kids are big fans of Neapolitan Ice Cream. So I made my usual milkshake as I do for them in our blender of Neapolitan Ice Cream, milk, with a few ice cubes added.

I also added our new favorite Homemade Chocolate Peppermint Syrup to the blender & then started layering all the “over-the-top” ingredients.

The funnest part is seeing their eyes pop out of their heads when you make these Extreme Peppermint Milkshakes!

I picked up seasonal donuts for our local bakery & was able to find the Christmas Ribbon Candy at our Dollar General store. If you don’t have one of those you can also find the ribbon candy on Amazon.

Just make sure you have plenty of outdoor activities planned after you or your family has one of these Extreme Peppermint Milkshakes. Because you’ll have enough energy to run or bike for a few miles. 😉
