A new use for your favorite childhood candy, a Nerds milkshake is fruity, sweet, and so much fun. It’s going to take you back to the good ol’ days!
We have such fond memories growing up of going to church softball games and watching our dad play in the church league. It was a great opportunity to spend time with our friends, and clearly a standby part about these evenings was heading to the concession stand and loading up on treats.
One of our favorite candies were Nerds and to this day, they bring back such fun memories.
Milkshakes are ice cream you can drink. Pretty special stuff: ice cream + Nerds + whipped cream. Now we’re really talking.
You know what might be the VERY best thing about milkshakes? They take about two seconds to whip up. A great treat in less than 5 minutes? Count us in.
This milkshake is versatile, too — throw in whatever kind of Nerds you love. Our grocery store happens to carry packages with a mixture of grape and strawberry. That combination makes an absolutely rich and flavorful milkshake.
