Short And Sweet. SweeTarts Milk Shake.

If you like SweeTarts, those tangy little candies, I’m pretty sure you are going to love these shakes.

Festive, thick, sweet and tart, these fun strawberry milk shakes are delicious.

I made one batch of shakes with assorted colored candies and the drinks had a bluish tinge. Still yummy, but not very Valentine-like.

So, for the other shakes you see here, I picked out only pink candies and added a few drops of food coloring. I also like a thicker shake, so I added some ice cubes, too.

You can find Valentine’s themed hearts this time of year, which is perfect for sending your love a sweet message.
