To create the Frankenstein Mint Chocolate Chip Freak Shake, make Frankenstein out of an ice cream cone by using hot fudge to stick on the gummy eyballs. Cut a mini marshmallow in half and stick to the sides. Top with some hot fudge hair and draw a mouth and eyebrows with the red gel. Place in refrigerator to chill while you get the rest of the shake ready.

Start by spreading a large spoonful of hot fudge around the inside of the mason jar. You don’t need to heat the hot fudge, just use it directly out of the jar. Spread another spoonful around the edge of the jar.

Add marshmallows and candy bones to the chocolate on the top of the jar. Really, whatever you want to add on your freak shake is fine. Just get creative and have fun!

Make your shake by mixing ice cream and milk in a blender. Pour the shake into the jar, then add a large helping of ice cream to the top.

To create the Strawberry Vampire Freak Shake, squeeze some strawberry syrup around the inside of the jar. Let it run down the sides to look like blood. Mix the ice cream, milk and some strawberry syrup together to make the shake. Pour into the jar and top with a few large spoonfuls of ice cream.

Squeeze more syrup around the rim of the jar and then you’re ready to decorate the top!

Top with whipped cream, vampire teeth suckers, gum ball eyes and gummy fingers. Add some red gel around the teeth and eyeballs for more blood! I added a piece of waffle coated in strawberry syrup to mine and it was very tasty.

To create the Chocolate Donut Halloween Freak Shake, repeat directions for the Frankenstein shake by coating the jar with hot fudge. I added orange sprinkles to the rim along with some candy corn. Make a shake out of the ice cream and milk and pour into the jar. Add more spoonfuls of ice cream, then place the donut on top.
