This week, my girls are on spring break here. While it isn’t warm summertime weather just yet here, didn’t stop my younger daughter for begging for milkshakes. Both my girls happen to love any candy milkshakes!
Specifically, she wanted us to go back to this fun place we visited last summer with crazy milkshakes. See they make all sorts of crazy, awesome candy milkshakes there. Our last visit there, my girls both requested these huge cotton candy milkshakes they make.
I mean these milkshakes are large enough for a few people actually to share them. Plus, they have all sorts of sweet candy treats to top them off. Of course, the cotton candy one has cotton candy as the main topper ingredient.
While these milkshakes are divine, they can be quite costly if you are repeat customers. Plus, this place is about 20 minutes or so away from us. So, more of a treat to take time out of our busy days/weekends to visit. Don’t get me wrong; I still highly recommend this place. But to save some time and money, I recommend making your version, too.
So, that is why I thought why not try to make our version of a cotton candy milkshake at home while we are off. This way, we could still enjoy a family-friendly, milkshake drink. But not have to waste more time getting there or spend even more money, too. See I am still working from home even while my girls are off this week. So while I want to enjoy their time off, I also am still working.
Still, what we came up with was nothing short of sweet treat cotton candy drink heaven in all honesty. I also made them a bit smaller for my girls, who happen to ate and rink like birds here. Even still my girls were indeed over the moon to help make these and drink them up, too from the comfort of our own home!
We used strawberry ice cream, blue food coloring, cotton candy, sprinkles, and a few other easy, inexpensive to find ingredients.
Honestly, this cotton candy milkshake was so easy to put together, and even more, fun enjoys — absolutely perfect spring break treat. Also works for spring and summer warmer months ahead of us now, too. So, I can genuinely see this one being made over and over here throughout the next few, upcoming months.

I’m trying to picture Scarlet’s face if I made this. Total bliss! She loves cotton candy. I wonder if I could make a maple version since she loves maple cotton candy and gets it at the sugar shack when we go.
Janine says
I have never had that to be honest, but now I am intrigued to say the least!! 😉
Jen says
My blood sugar level just spiked, but whoa girl, I love it! Totally had to pin it too 🙂
Your little girls are so cute. I hope you have a fab spring break. Ours was a week ago, and now we are back to the grind 🙁

Aw, thanks Jen and yes so far was a good spring break week here. Almost done though and next week back to the grind for my girls, too!
