We are big football fans (both college and professional.. I mean, who else decorates their mantel for football season?) This year, as a special treat on game day I decided to create milkshakes for the kids.
The beauty of milkshakes is that they are so easy to make, but feel so decadent. The ingredients are simple: Ice Cream, Candy and Milk.

First up, for all the chocolate fans in the house, I present you: The SNICKERS Milkshake:
![Snickers-Game-Day-Milkshake.jpg Snickers Game Day Milkshake](http://lh5.ggpht.com/-zRuKsMKqx08/VLwt2lVa0-I/AAAAAAABQEU/n1aZTiEP4Z4/Snickers-Game-Day-Milkshake.jpg?imgmax=800)
3 scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
5 Fun Size SNICKERS Bars
1/3-1/2 cup Milk (depending on thickness)
First I chopped up the snickers bars with a hand chopper. You can just tear them apart and crumble them up as well, but I wanted to keep my hands clean. If you throw the entire candy bar into the blender you may end up with big chunks, so I definitely recommend pre-chopping

Scoop out your ice cream and add it to the blender, followed by the milk:

Pulse to blend. Add more milk if you aren’t getting it to blend:

I topped it with Whipped cream a a few of the leftover SNICKERS crumbs:

I had this cute little football glass from the dollar store. To stay with the Game Day Theme:

Now, if chocolate ins’t your thing.. How about this dreamy version? The Orange Starburst Creamsicle Milkshake:
![Starburst-Orange-Creamsicle-Milkshake.jpg Starburst Orange Creamsicle Milkshake](http://lh5.ggpht.com/-y-xI761DUAQ/VLwt4Wc3ReI/AAAAAAABQEc/BwdYhJsNdOo/Starburst-Orange-Creamsicle-Milkshake.jpg?imgmax=800)
Ingredients:
10 Orange Starburst Candies
1/3 cup water
3 Scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
Unwrap the orange Starburst candies and add them to a small sauce pan along with 1/3 cup water.
![melting-starburst.jpg Melting starburst](http://lh6.ggpht.com/-lbFIuiewu98/VLwuHNIJjAI/AAAAAAABQFc/yOFrAwXPuqY/melting-starburst.jpg?imgmax=800)
Over medium heat dissolve the candies. Whisking the mixture helps with even melting.

When they are completely dissolved removed from heat (i added mine to small heat-resistant bowl so it could cool quickly.) You want this orange syrup to cool down quite a bit (so it is warm but not HOT.) If it cools too much it may start to get really sticky and syrupy, so using it slightly warm is best:
![melted-orange-starburst.jpg Melted orange starburst](http://lh6.ggpht.com/-uRLbSJrqO80/VLwuFbcEzyI/AAAAAAABQFU/OQXSs--PvJU/melted-orange-starburst.jpg?imgmax=800)
Add your ice cream to the blend and pour over the syrup. Because the syrup is warm, there is no need to add additional milk:

Blend and pour: It tastes JUST like a Creamsicle.

You could make other fruity versions as well, just use the other flavors of Starburst candy:

I added a little whipped cream as the final touch:
