Whether it's Valentines Day, someone's birthday, or just a Saturday afternoon watching the Olympics, milk chocolate can always be counted on to celebrate an occasion. But did you know there's an actual national holiday dedicated to the stuff?
It may seem a bit silly, since we celebrate the existence of chocolate every day – but you won't find us complaining on Saturday, aka National Milk Chocolate Day.
Before you head for the candy aisle at your local grocery store, check out this milkshake recipe from celeb-approved Max Brenner. The chocolate boutique – which has outposts in Boston, NYC, Philly, Vegas, and even Australia – is a fave of stars like Emma Stone, Andrew Garfield, John Travolta, and Eva Longoria.
80s Milkshake
• 1 ½ cups whole milk• 12 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
