Time to Shake 'Em Up!!

Cheers to all of the milkshake lovers out there because this coming week marks the celebration of National Chocolate Milkshake day on September 12.

In 1885, this drink was known as an alcoholic drink which was commonly a mixture of eggs, whiskey and other ingredients served at pharmacies.

Later on, milkshakes became known as "wholesome drinks made with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry syrup," as reported by the National Day Calendar. In 1911, drink mixers began to be added to soda fountains and in 1922 the electric blender was invented. With the advent of the blender, the word, "Milkshake" was born. By the 1930's the milkshake became popular in shops all across the country.

As the 12th comes upon us next Thursday, remember to get your chocolate milkshake at your favorite malt shop or dairy barn. You can also make a chocolate milkshake at home instead. It's easy. My family is always looking for an excuse to enjoy the malted beverage and this week's holiday is the perfect day to do so.

You can also special order milk chocolate fudge from Phenomenal Fudge too! Phenomenal Fudge's milk chocolate fudge is made with real cream and butter. While it's not as chocolaty as our regular chocolate or dark chocolate fudge it has a more sweet "milky" taste instead.

As a special offer for our blog readers Phenomenal Fudge will offer a half-pound of milk chocolate fudge for half-price, $5. This flavor is not on our web site so you will need to contact us by calling 802-897-7300 or email us at info@pfudge.com. Now, Get shaking!
