Tasting the Trends on National Chocolate Milkshake Day
As highlighted in the recent assessment of milkshake trends at Tastewise, people still love chocolate milkshakes, but shakes with “premium ingredients or creative toppings” have extra appeal. Other shake trends include flavor combinations that incorporate cookies, peanut butter, and coffee, as well as seasonally inspired creations. Listed by popular ingredients, here are five tasty custard shake options on the Freddy’s menu that you might try on National Chocolate Milkshake Day!
1. Chocolate Brownie + Hot Fudge Shakes
In the Chocolate Brownie Delight, fresh chocolate custard forms the base of this shake. Then, layers of chocolate flavor and texture come from the rich chocolate brownie and swirls of hot fudge. If a chocolate indulgence is what you are looking for on National Chocolate Milkshake Day, this shake is the perfect option!
2. Cookies Shakes
Incorporating cookies also appears on Tastewise’s list of recent milkshake trends, especially the use of OREO® Cookies. For new and longstanding fans of these particular cookies, the OREO® Double Trouble at Freddy’s is an easy choice. While the standard preparation of this frozen custard treat includes vanilla frozen custard, guests who want more chocolate than the cookie wafers provide can customize it with chocolate frozen custard instead, along with other chocolate mix-ins such as chocolate sauce, hot fudge, or chocolate chips.
3. Peanut Butter Shakes
As with delicious OREO® Cookies, the pairing of peanut butter and chocolate also has a solid fanbase. Therefore, it’s no surprise that people crave this tasty combination in a shake as well. Two peanut butter and chocolate possibilities at Freddy’s include the REESES® Royale and the Peanut Butter Bananza. For National Chocolate Milkshake Day or any other day, selecting chocolate frozen custard and perhaps some extra chocolate sauce or hot fudge further boosts the chocolate flavor in either treat. In terms of the peanut butter component, the REESES® Royale includes REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cups and REESE’S® PB Sauce, while the Peanut Butter Bananza offers the fresh sweetness of banana pieces in combination with these same peanut butter cups.
4. Coffee Shakes
Unsurprisingly, many consumers' coffee cravings have also shaped milkshake trends. At Freddy’s, the Cold Brew Caramel Crunch offers cold brew coffee in combination with another trending ingredient – caramel sauce. Along with your choice of chocolate frozen custard, pieces of HEATH® bar add more layers of chocolate and caramel to this creamy shake.
