Peppermint Cherry Milkshakes are a delicious dessert combining two awesome flavors! My family loved them! My son had a baseball tournament last weekend and the weather was surprisingly warm and almost too warm for jeans and sweaters. My daughter has been asking me to make her a milkshake for awhile now and since the weather was cooperating for a cold drink, I made these yummy Peppermint Cherry Milkshakes! What a fabulous treat! I always have extra candy canes around Christmas, so these milkshakes were a great way to use some of them!

Ingredients
- 4 cups low fat vanilla ice cream

Instructions
- Combine ice cream, milk, crushed peppermint, and crushed cherry candy in a container of an electric blender

- Serve in a glass and top with whipped cream and a cherry
