Crush the Candy Canes:
- Unwrap the candy canes and crush them in a ziplock bag or between sheets of parchment paper using a rolling pin or mallet. Leave some larger chunks for added texture.
Blend the Milkshake:
- In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, Cool Whip, and milk. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Add the Candy Cane Crunch:
- Add about 2/3 of the crushed candy canes and chocolate chips to the blender. Pulse a few times to incorporate them, leaving some chunks for that crunchy bite.
Serve and Garnish:
- Pour the milkshake into glasses, and top with the remaining crushed candy canes and chocolate chips. For an extra festive touch, garnish with a whole candy cane on the rim of the glass.
Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, crunchy holiday treat!

For a thicker milkshake, add more ice cream or reduce the milk.

You can substitute candy canes with peppermint bark or gingerbread cookies for a different flavor twist.

You can prep the milkshake base in advance and store it in the freezer, adding the candy canes and chocolate chips just before serving.
