those broken candy canes... so start smashing them and enjoy! PS.. Santa may enjoy a milkshake as well... :) HO!HO!HO!
Ingredients:
7-8 scoops of ice cream
1/4 cup of crushed candy canes

I am not a huge fan of peppermint until December when suddenly my dislike goes out the window and I fill myself up for the year!
ReplyDeleteRamona your pictures are fantastic! This milkshake looks like it's going to jump off the screen. And oh how I wish!! How yummy for the holidays.
ReplyDeleteYou are just TOO MUCH! What a great idea for candy canes!
