Recipe Notes
- Soft peppermint candy: I prefer soft peppermint sticks or candies because they give the milkshake that delicious peppermint candy flavor I remember from Chick-fil-A. Regular candy canes can be substituted if needed.
- Peppermint bark: Use it along with the soft peppermint candy for extra peppermint flavor and little chocolatey candy pieces throughout the shake.
- Peppermint ice cream: You can substitute peppermint ice cream for vanilla ice cream. If you do, omit the peppermint extract.
- Make ahead: This milkshake is best served immediately after blending. Freezing and thawing can change its creamy texture.
