Whether it's Valentines Day, someone's birthday, or just a Saturday afternoon watching the Olympics, milk chocolate can always be counted on to celebrate an occasion. But did you know there's an actual national holiday dedicated to the stuff?
It may seem a bit silly, since we celebrate the existence of chocolate every day – but you won't find us complaining on Saturday, aka National Milk Chocolate Day
• 12 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
• 4 cups ice
• vanilla ice cream
1. Bring milk to a boil. Pour over the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl, let sit until the chocolate begins to melt, and then stir until smooth. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours.
2. Add the milk chocolate mixture to a blender along with the remaining ½ cup milk and ice. Blend until smooth. Pour into tall, frosty glasses.
3. Top with scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with any remaining milk chocolate and top with chocolate whipped cream.
Bottoms up!
