Guinness Double-Chocolate Malted Milk Shake

You can't celebrate St. Patrick's Day without a pint of Guinness. Or in this case, a Guinness Double-Chocolate Malted Milk Shake. Even the title has us dancing the jig. Just remember to put that blender lid on tight, because the carbonation from the stout has a tendency to escape. Get the recipe from Foodie with Family.
