Boo-Nilla Shake Recipe

These spirits may look frightening, but they're actually quite sweet. Make the Faces with melted chocolate painted inside the glass. A ghostly white vanilla milk shake is topped with piped whipped cream. And although you wouldn't want these spooks to haunt your house, they would be welcome at a Halloween get-together.

    You could also turn these into evil trolls, by adding chocolate whip cream on the top, as a hat.

    This is the cutest idea! We are not having a party so baking a whole cake or cookies is not practical - I'll be making these for my husband and I and our inlaws to enjoy with some popcorn and a scary movie or two!

    I agree it's very creative and yummy, but also not to hard. What you can do for the faces it chill the glass in the fridge for a couple hours or 1 day then at publix near the bakery area they sell freeze in a second chocolate syrup so what you can do is buy that then pour in the glass and it hardens so then it doesn't smear.

    you can paint the faces on the outside ofplastic glasses but it takes away from the fun that they kids have trying to get the chocolate and it does give the shake a little chocolate taste when they try to scrape the faces.

    " Make the faces with melted chocolate painted inside the glass."
    no need to guess, just click on the link,"make the faces" in above text.
    it gives all the specs.

    i think I'll just use clear plastic cups and draw the ghost faces on the outside

    Hey Bridget, I would just melt some chocolate and a little cream (ganache) and stir till it's the right consistency to paint. Then put the glasses in the fridge till you serve. Haven't tried it, but I think it would work.

    Bridgetwilkie all you have to do is melt any kind of chocolate that you like in a micro or over boiling water, use a small artist brush and paint the inside of the glass. I used glasses with wide openings and it is a lot easier to paint.

    These are awesome. You can use cool whip or Redi Whip in place of the heavy ceam and confectioners sugar.
