Iced Hot Chocolate

It seems like everyone is talking about Fall!  Everywhere I turn, there’s proof that fall is coming, from yummy Fall Starbucks drinks to countless pumpkin-infused recipes floating around the blog world.  Yes, there is a slight chill in the air, and, yes, Fall is just around the corner.  BUT, it’s still officially Summertime, and there’s still time to enjoy a few frozen treats!

I’m sure you’ve had iced coffee and iced tea, but have you ever had iced hot chocolate?  I hadn’t, until a few weeks ago when I had a craving for hot chocolate.  It was too hot, so I decided to try a frozen version of our Wintertime favorite.  It was during that same week that I discovered a new product in the ice cream section at the store: Edy’s Slow Churned Shakes.  It’s a frozen shake mix, sort of like ice cream that’s been melted slightly.  I just knew it would work for my hot chocolate shake!

This Iced Hot Chocolate is sure to remind you that summer is still here, but a cold, winter’s day is just around the corner!

Ingredients:

• 8.1 fl. oz. Edy’s Vanilla Shakes (or 2 cups of vanilla ice cream)
• 1 cup of hot chocolate, cooled (I used Ghirardelli Chocolate Mocha)
