Frozen hot chocolate is one of those treats that brings back a lot of memories for me. One of my best friends from high school introduced me to this treat, and I LOVED it!! Back in the day, my friends and I use to go to Dairy Queen all the time, and I learned that they serve this there, but it isn't listed on the menu. It's this secret, deliciousness that you have to know about and ask for. It's been my favorite "unlisted" menu item of theirs for a long time. Needless to say, when I saw a recipe for this I had to try it. It's a great way to have your hot chocolate when, in fact, you want a cool treat. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteSadly it's getting to cool for this where I live now. Have to watch until the summer.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't like iced coffee, this is a fun substitute.
