## Story

Priced at $9.95, the indulgent shake delivers the nostalgic comfort of hot cocoa in MilkShake Factory’s signature frozen format. The Hot Chocolate Milkshake features the brand's housemade ice cream blended with melted hot fudge and crispy marshmallows, finished with a hand-dipped chocolate marshmallow pop for the ultimate cold-weather treat.

Available alongside the milkshake is MilkShake Factory’s Hot Chocolate Bark, which debuted this winter, and will continue to be offered throughout the promotional period. The cozy chocolate features crispy marshmallows and crunchy rice crispies folded into smooth milk chocolate, delivering the familiar flavors of classic hot cocoa in a shareable, snackable format.

“Winter is the perfect time to lean into flavors that feel comforting and familiar,” said Dana Edwards Manatos, Founder and CEO of MilkShake Factory. “The Hot Chocolate Milkshake is rich, nostalgic, and incredibly fun, from the marshmallow crème to the chocolate-dipped marshmallow pop on top. Paired with our Hot Chocolate Bark, it gives guests multiple ways to enjoy those classic hot chocolate flavors in a fresh, playful way.”

The Hot Chocolate Milkshake will be available for a limited time only, while supplies last.
