Sadly, today is the last recipe we have for National Ice Cream Month. I’ve had such a blast creating and sharing new ice cream and frozen treats with you all this month. But I am ready to get back to the savory foods next month, that’s for sure. My freezer is stuffed full of leftovers and I don’t think it can hold much more!

Before we bid farewell to this month, I have a final ice cream recipe for you. The recipe is for my Peanut Butter Explosion Milkshake. It’s loaded with peanut butter and decorated with Reese’s Pieces and a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. It truly is an overload of peanut butter!

And here it is!

Tips and Tricks

  1. Creamy, smooth peanut butter is best. To get the perfect texture for this milkshake, make sure to use creamy peanut butter instead of the natural or crunchy kind.
  2. Use less milk for thick shakes. Obviously, the less milk you use, the thicker the milkshake will be.
  3. Blend just until smooth. Do not over blend the milkshake or it will become too thin and runny.

    This was a heavenly milkshake, oh my gosh. I like mine extra thick so I used only half the milk and it was perfect.

    This was amazing! My kids keep begging for it again! Of course they ate all the candies first, but still devoured the shake.

    There’s this milkshake place in Toronto that makes big beautiful milkshakes and this one so reminded me of it! It was so good and perfectly creamy and sweet.

    Your presentation really gives the look of an explosion. Peanut Butter to this recipe is surely unique. Would definitely give this a try.

    I know I’m going to love this milkshake! Anything with peanut butter has my vote! I am having my nephews over this weekend and I’m going to make it with them (mostly because I don’t want to drink it all myself.) 🙂

    We absolutely LOVED this peanut butter milkshake. My entire family loves peanut butter and chocolate together and you’ve managed to make this better than the original. This will definitely be a repeat recipe for us.

Fried Onion Petals – Sweet onion is sliced into Fried Onion Petals – Sweet onion is sliced into petals, seasoned, and fried until perfectly crispy. Served with homemade horseradish sauce.

The inspiration for this snack comes from the Bloomin’ Onion at Outback Steakhouse. Making a whole onion seems so intimidating so I never thought to make it at home. But then the thought came to me – why not fried them in little petals instead? They’re also easier to dip than onion rings.

Without further ado, here are the Fried Onion Petals: https://www.certifiedpastryaficionado.com/fried-onion-petals/

Biscotti is the dessert I never knew I needed. I discovered them in college when I craved a snack while studying for finals. I bought a biscotti at the library coffee shop and dunked it in my coffee. The cookie that I thought was too crunchy suddenly turn soft and chewy. Yum!

Those memories inspired me to make my own biscotti. First, I made these gingerbread biscotti. And then I made this pistachio version. Now, I’m recreating the biscotti I first had many years ago – Double Chocolate Biscotti.

I am a snacker, through and through. Before meeting my husband and living together, my meals were not planned out and mostly consisted of a lot of small snacks throughout the day. 

Over time, I learned it’s very hard to coordinate meals and get togethers with others when I’m not super hungry so I learned to adapt. But in my core, I am still a snack lover!

Today’s recipe is my newest snack obsession – Rosemary Cheese Straws
