Every year I look forward to picking up Shamrock Shakes for St. Patrick's Day because it is one of my favorite delights. Okay, I say that to pretty much any treat, so let's say it's one of my favorite seasonal treats!
I was pleasantly surprised how easy they were to make at home! I don't make milkshakes regularly, so it took a bit of trial and error to find the right consistency, but once I did ... DEEElicious! Even the little guy enjoyed his very first shake of clover!
The great thing about this is that if you really don't want to add food coloring to make them green, then you don't have to! Even without being green, they are just as tasty!
