Almost Famous Milkshakes

I had to borrow the photo you see from The Food Network.  I am not the best photographer of drinks... it could be that we don't have the best glasses or it could be that I just can't photograph liquids... either way, I made these two separate times and could not even get a remotely good looking photo.  ANYWAY... normally, I wouldn't post this recipe since I couldn't get a real picture of it, but it's just too darn good to not share with you.  Although these almost famous shakes are a copy-cat recipe from a restaurant called Friendly's and I had never been to a Friendly's before, I can safely say these are a must try!  To me, they tasted like McDonald's shakes... only better!!
