This started out as a Peppermint Shake, but it didn't quite get there. What it ended up as is those Old Fashioned Peppermint Sticks you get at Xmas Time. This Milkshake base serves as a softener that creates that chalky/crunchy effect that you get from from Old Fashioned Peppermint Sticks. I probably could tweak this into a shake... but why?
