Mocha Java Milkshake for Blogathon

Have you heard of the Blogathon? The Blogathon is a yearly event where hundreds of bloggers from around the world stay up for 24 hours straight, updating their blogs every half an hour for a charity of their choice. This year’s Blogathon starts Saturday, July 25th at 6:00am PDT.

I’ve participated every year that it’s been open to the general public and am an admin this year. This means I won’t actually be blogging for a charity (the theory is that I’ll have enough to do already!) but I do get to stay up for the 24 hours anyway.

The event is a lot of fun, especially when it gets to be around two or three in the morning and the slap happiness sets in.

This can be made even more fun with introduction of caffeinated beverages, and one of my favorite ways to get a hit of caffeine every few hours is by incorporating chocolate, of course!

This recipe comes from one of my favorite blogs to watch during the ‘thon. For the past couple of years, Missy has done a food and cooking marathon, with this recipe adding a much-needed kick to several participants’ late night!

Mocha Java Milkshake

2 cups cold milk
1 cup cold strong coffee
4 – 5 scoops vanilla ice cream
4 tbs Hershey’s Special Dark syrup

Blend on high until smooth. Add more ice cream if a thicker consistency is desired.

Easy as can be, right?
