Mid-day Milkshakes.

One Sunday afternoon after catching up on several hours of ridiculous reality television on my DVR, I stumbled upon a food show on the travel channel. They were featuring famous little burger joints all across the U.S.

I was only half-watching until a place called Stand in NYC caught my eye. Now for those of you that know me, you know that I’m not much a beef eater, so it obviously wasn’t their burgers that sparked my sudden interest. Instead, it was their drink menu with milkshakes galore! There were the obvious choices… Chocolate Malt, Vanilla, Strawberry….but there were also more interesting flavors like Apple Pie, Pumpkin, Fresh Mint, Maple Almond, Blueberry Pie, and……wait for it…..Toasted Marshmallow. A Toasted Marshmallow Milkshake? Yes. And it looked beyond delicious.

I LOVE toasted marshmallows in almost any form (in fact, I have a toasted marshmallow candle burning at this very moment) and I knew this was something I had to try. I immediately got online and found THIS knockoff recipe. For months and months and months it sat in my recipe book lonely and forgotten, until recently when I was feeling a little under the weather and I just KNEW the only thing that would make me feel better was a Toasted Marshmallow Shake. The Husband reminded me that I had never even tried said shake, but still obliged when I handed him the list of ingredients to retrieve from the store.

The best part? The little blended chunks of marshmallow that creep up your straw! This little friend definitely cured my ailments.

I’m not sure how I missed out on the real thing during my last visit to NYC, but I assure you “Stand” will be on my *must* list for the next trip!
