Craving for chocolate milk shakes

I have this special place in my heart for chocolate milk shakes, and this I share with my children. Every hot summer, our little blender is the star of our kitchen as we whip up every imaginable milk shake with chocolate on it.  Two of our favorites are the thick chocolate milk shake and chocolate chip shake.

For the thick chocolate milk shake, you need: 1-1/2 cup milk, ¼ cup chocolate syrup, 1-1/2 cup vanilla ice cream. Blend in milk and syrup thoroughly. Add ice cream (about 2 tablespoons at a time) and blend for 4 seconds. Do not overblend. Pour into tall glasses and add sliced fruits or a cherry.

For the chocolate chip shake, you need: 3 scoops of ice cream, 5 Oreo cookies, and 1-1/2 cups of milk. Put 3 scoops of ice cream in the blender, add the Oreo cookies and pour in the milk. Cover blender and turn on for 1 – 2 minutes, or until cookies are well ground. Pour into tall glasses and add chocolate syrup.
