The most EPIC milkshakes ever! The “Muddy Pat,” which consists of hot chocolate fudge, brownies, cream, and toasted marshmallows. If salt with your sweet is more your speed, try the “Nutella and salty pretzel.” With Nutella, whipped cream and crushed pretzels, it may kill you, but at least you’ll die happy. Kindly, leave your diet at the door.
