Rich vanilla ice cream blended with melted caramels and salty, roasted cashew nuts. A thick ice cream shop style milkshake that you have to eat with a spoon.
My husband’s favorite milkshake is Caramel Cashew from Nielsen’s Frozen Custard. Their ice cream is so thick that they call it concrete. While this shake isn’t as thick as Nielsen’s, it’s every bit as creamy and delicious. My husband gave it two thumbs up.

Malt powder is an essential ingredient in my milkshakes. I guess that makes them malteds–chocolate, vanilla and like your husband, I love most any with a caramel edge to them. Chocolate caramel maltshake?

My husband loves malt in his shakes too. My kids not so much. I’m sure I’d love a chocolate caramel malt too.

I like plain old chocolate, but this one has real potential! I’m on a soft food diet because of mouth surgery, so this one is on the menu for the weekend…
