Treat Yourself This Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Mirror80!

Happy Halloween, Everyone! This is my all-time favorite holiday. We need more of these–days devoted to indulging in pure fun, to treating yourself, and to acting like a kid. In that spirit, today we share a simple recipe that will make it easy for you to enjoy a tasty milkshake while watching your favorite horror flick, possibly using some leftover Halloween candy in the process…

A vanilla milkshake with sprinkles and a Snickers bar garnish

Here at Mirror80, we’ve enjoyed our share of sprinkle- and confetti-covered desserts. Which is why we were completely inspired by this candy vanilla milkshake idea from beloved blog A Beautiful Mess. Vanilla milkshakes are my go-to dessert, and I wanted to put a Halloween twist on one of my all-time favorite treats!

Sprinkles, snickers and stirrers

To make this delicious dessert, combine vanilla ice cream and milk in the blender. Like your shakes extra thick? Use a bit less milk. Pour your newly blended shake into a glass and top with sprinkles. I used rainbow sprinkles, as well as “chocolate vermicelli.” Add a colorful stirrer, then garnish the drink with a mini candy bar skewered on a sword. In fact, any Halloween candy will do! I used a Snickers bar. You won’t believe how good this combo is…
