FAQs

1. Can I make this milkshake ahead of time?

It’s best to prepare it fresh for the creamiest texture, but you can blend the milkshake base and refrigerate it for up to 1 hour. Add decorations just before serving.

2. Can I use a different type of ice cream?

Absolutely! Try vanilla, cookies and cream, or mint chocolate chip for a twist on the flavor.

3. Are there alternative decorations I can use?

Yes! Try candy eyeballs, edible glitter, or crushed graham crackers for a spooky variation.

4. Can I make this without a blender?

You can mix the ice cream, milk, and syrup by hand, but it will require more effort and might not be as smooth.

5. How do I crush the Oreos?

Place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor for finer crumbs.

6. Is this recipe gluten-free?

To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free cookies and check labels for gluten-free candy options.

7. Can I reduce the sweetness?

Yes, use unsweetened cocoa powder instead of chocolate syrup and opt for less sweetened whipped cream.

8. What can I use instead of gummy worms?

Try small licorice pieces, candy snakes, or mini chocolate bars as an alternative.

9. Can I double the recipe for a larger crowd?

Yes, just scale up the ingredients and blend in batches as needed.

10. What if I don’t have candy tombstones?

You can make tombstones out of chocolate bars or graham crackers with a bit of frosting to add details.
