During the holidays, peppermint bark is always a favorite treat of mine to have and to share with family and friends.

But what’s better than regular peppermint bark? A peppermint bark milkshake!

Classic peppermint bark flavors like peppermint candy canes, and mini chocolate chips, blended with smooth and sweet vanilla ice cream, and whole milk, and topped with whipped cream, or some decadent homemade hot fudge sauce.

These shakes come together in no time, and the recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for your next get-together!

Trust me, this might become your favorite peppermint filled treat!

Making this vegan

Yes! This peppermint bark milkshake can be made vegan friendly.

Most candy canes are vegan-friendly, be sure to read the label to double-check.

Just swap out the ice cream, milk, and chocolate chips with vegan-friendly versions.

Want more chocolate

Make this milkshake with a chocolate ice cream base for a rich and chocolate-filled minty treat.

Make an adult boozy milkshake

If you’d like to add a little something extra, to make this a special adult milkshake, just add a little peppermint schnapps and vanilla vodka to the mix!

Storage and leftovers

Since these peppermint bark milkshakes come together so fast, it’s best to make them and consume them immediately.
