However, when I wanted a treat for the boys a few days ago, I was inspired to try adding some peppermint to their chocolate. While a far cry from the original Mint Pie recipe, this drink made all the kids happy and I didn’t even have to turn on my oven. I would have used ice cream and called this a milkshake, but that would have required a trip to the grocery store or the extra time and effort involved in making a batch.
(Are you seeing a pattern here? 106 degrees outside = less than the usual motivation to leave the house or cook.) Luckily, I have ice cube trays, so I simply made some chocolate milk and froze half of it to create what is basically a chocolate milk smoothie.
