Shake Shake Shake


I am, pretty much, peanut butters biggest fan. Ever.

I can enjoy peanut butter in so many ways:
- I eat it straight out of the jar
- on toast
- in Rose's amazing PBJ Bars
- in cookies, cupcakes, or whatever else I can think of
and in a whole world of other delights.

But today, is the day, for peanut butter milkshakes.

Now, I've tried my fair share of peanut butter shakes in my time. Hunting them down in diners (Ed's or The Diner do a very good job here) and always opting for Reece's cups to be put in my shake over a whole host of other treats at milkshakes shops far and wide.

So now, after much extensive market research, I've been thinking its about time I try my hand at my own Peanut Budda Shake. 
In this one I've chosen to add my old friend Nutella into the mix, as there's not much better than the combination of PB and choc.



This is hardly a recipe, but if you want to join in on the action, you will need:
6 scoops vanilla ice-cream
1 cup of milk
4 tablespoons peanut butter (Skippy's my fave but any will do the job)
3 tablespoons Nutella
Make 2 shakes

Feel free to adjust quantities, the more ice-cream you add, the thicker the shake will be and if its too thick, just add more milk! If you want it more choc than PB than of course you can add more or less as you please.

All you have to do is pop everything in a blender and whizz away until its all bubbly and milkshake like, then serve in a tall glass, preferably with a straw.
We didn't have any straws handy when the craving for a shake set in, so a Twix finger just had to do.


Enjoy!
