Recipe Tips
The quality of your vanilla ice cream makes a significant difference in this recipe. Premium ice cream with a higher fat content and real vanilla produces a thicker, richer shake that more closely resembles Chick-fil-A's version. If your peppermint bark pieces are melting too quickly in the shake, try freezing them for 30 minutes before adding them to the blender. This helps maintain distinct pieces throughout the milkshake rather than having them fully incorporate.
