How-To Make a Halloween Inspired Milkshake

No matter the holiday or occasion, celebrate with a delicious, fun, over-the-top and easy-to-make FreakShake (Milkshake)!

What is a FreakShake? 

FreakShakes are simply put, over the top milkshakes.  They are so much fun to make, and as my family can attest to, fun to eat!

I wanted to make a Halloween-Inspired FreakShake and my first ingredient of choice was TruMoo Orange Scream Milk.  It's orange (color is important!), it tastes like an orange frozen popsicle with vanilla ice cream, and it's basically DEE-licious! It's also my first choice because it has no GMO ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial growth hormones, no artificial sweeteners, and no artificial flavors or colors.

TruMoo Orange Scream is only available now through the end of October - that's what makes it special, right? I checked the store locator and found it at a local store.  I grabbed two containers because I knew that my kids would love it.  Even though they're getting older there's still something awesome about this time of year and the products you can only get this time of year.  I'm the same way.  🙂

I gathered my other ingredients including orange ready-made frosting, cotton candy, candy corns, sprinkles, and other tasty candies along with BIG lollipops, some plastic spiders because these need to have a spooky touch, and some paper holiday straws.

This is my favorite tip! I've seen FreakShakes made with melted candy wafers on the sides of the glass but that seems a little too hard to me (lazy, maybe?) and in my opinion using ready-made frosting works better and allows a little more work time for adding candies since it doesn't "set up" like melted chocolate does.

I used a frosting spatula to apply the frosting to the top portion of the outside of the glass and then began to add my candies.

Once I added all of my candies I IMMEDIATELY placed the glass in the freezer.  This helps keep all of the candy in place and is a necessary step.  It was super hot the day I made these and the candy did start to slide a bit.

I found that using lighter weight and smaller candies works better with the frosting so keep that in mind when choosing your ingredients.
