Your little and big goblins will love these Monster Milkshakes made from a Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake and topped with chocolate donuts.
When my niece and nephews were little, one of my favorite things to do was plan parties for them. I planned their birthday parties, holiday parties and just fun things for them to do all the time. I was Instagram ready before there even was an Instagram. This Monster Milkshake would have been perfect for one of our Halloween parties.
I’m so glad my sister let me handle so many of their birthday parties and holiday parties. To me it was fun to get to plan everything from the invitations, to the decor, to the food. This was way before my food blogging days but I was always looking for cute themed food to serve whenever we had a party.
I miss those days and sometimes wish the kids were four again instead of skyrocketing to adulthood. Today I’m sharing a monster milkshake with you in case you’re like me and like theme based treats.
This is a creamy chocolate peanut butter milkshake with a chocolate donut on top. The donut is so moist that it is almost fall apart good so be careful dipping them in the chocolate sauce. They’re really almost cupcake like instead of donut but I’m not complaining. The peanut butter holding the sprinkles on the rim just make me want to lick the jar. I can’t get enough peanut butter!
I made these in little mini mason jars and they fit these mini donuts so perfectly. You can get them at Amazon (affiliate links) here and here.
