I know the general recipe is chocolate syrup, chocolate ice cream, and milk, but are there any homemade recipes or old school recipes or those type of recipes that are like what grandma used to make? Something to add to the shake to make it even more better? Come on people help me out here.
Answer
A chocolate milkshake recipe is a delicious treat. And, with some of the recipes on this page, it can be a non-fattening treat!
Trivia: Ray Kroc of McDonalds fame started his career selling five-unit milkshake machines to restaurants.
In my younger life, I worked in restaurants and served up many a chocolate milkshake. The commercial milkshake makers are wonderful but somewhat extravagant for home use. However, if you make a lot of shakes, it would be a good investment. Check out the Waring PDM1 Drink Mixer . Naturally, you can use it for making smoothies, shakes, sodas, cocktails, eggnog and more.
Home users who do not make a great many drinks would be happy with the more economical Hamilton Beach 65250 Classic DrinkMaster Drink Mixer. It's excellent value for a low price.
Just a little tip from one who found out the hard way: when using a drink mixer, be sure the blades have come to a full stop before trying to remove the drink. Otherwise, be prepared to wash your face, hair and shirt!
As always, I suggest you do yourself a big favor and use the best quality chocolate you can find or afford. It really does make a difference. You can order outstanding, premier cocoa, chocolate chips and baking chocolates for chocolate milkshake recipe at ChocolateSource.

1/4 cup chocolate syrup, commercial or use the chocolate syrup recipe on this web site

Add more ice cream if a thicker chocolate milkshake recipe is desired. Add more milk if you want a thinner drink.
Don't be afraid to experiment. You can add interesting ingredients such as ripe bananas, different flavors of ice cream, frozen yoghurt or gelato, nuts, strawberries, coconut, peanut butter, peppermint extract, chocolate milk, malt, maraschino cherries, Oreo cookies, syrup or juice from canned fruit, etc.
