Last Wednesday, I came home from school with a very specific craving: a Reese’s milkshake. I didn’t want to leave my house again to go get one, so I decided to make my own from home. When the milkshake was completed, I realized it was a lot easier to make than I’d initially thought it would be. Feeling inspired, I dug a little bit deeper and found five really easy milkshake recipes that you can make from home . . .starting with my own legendary Reese’s milkshake!
