Ever since my childhood, there has been one black and white cookie consistently present in my life: the Oreo. Its cream-filled center and crunchy chocolate cookies are indescribably enticing. I never could, and still cannot, eat just one.
Is it the plethora of ways to consume an Oreo that makes it so exciting? You can screw off the top cookie and enjoy two delicious halves. Perhaps you save the cream-covered cookie for last, or maybe you can’t wait that long. You can lick off the cream before eating the cookies plain. Some people like to peel off that sweet cream and stack it layer upon layer so you have a quadruple-stuffed Oreo. Or you can always go the classic route of dunking the cookies in milk until they reach the point of melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
Or maybe you’re too impatient for any of that, maybe you just like to stuff ‘em in your mouth, as many as you can handle at once.
That same concept applies to this incredible milkshake. If you want a milkshake to taste like toasted marshmallows, you don’t add artificial flavorings or even plain marshmallows; you put whole toasted marshmallows into the milkshake mix with all of their charred goodness. The results are everything you could ever dream of: luscious, liquified toasted marshmallows with an added creamy smoothness from the ice cream. It’s amazing how much that charred marshmallow taste shines through. And with every sweetly nostalgic sip, you might just taste a hint of summer campfire on the back of your tongue.
