Chocolate & Cola

 If you prefer your drinks ice cold rather than warm then this is the drink for you!

We are creating a classic diner-style treat that combines fizzy cola with rich, creamy chocolate.
Coke and milk??? Yep, it sounds weird, but it just works!
The soda adds a malt-like flavor, and the chocolate milk gives memories of being a kid.

This classic beverage is made by blending cold cola, vanilla ice cream, a shot of chocolate syrup and a splash of milk for the ultimate thick, creamy, and bubbly consistency. Topped with whipped cream, a JoJo's Sweet Treats brand printed Marshmellow with edible ink and then our hero piece ... a chocky cola flavoured treat in the shape of a cola bottle.
The hero piece actually inspired the creation of this yummy entry. The Chocolate Cola Bottles in our Pick and Mix are a 'made in NZ' treat. They are one of our best sellers which is a testament to the flavour combination we have chosen for this year's entry into the "not hot" Hot Chocolate Challenge.

Ingredients: Vanilla ice cream, Cola, Milk, Chocolate syrup, whipped cream (optional), Chocolate cola bottles, marshmallow

Cost: $9.00
