JoJo's Sweet Treats

Drink details

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

Our Hot Chocolate consists of creamy hot chocolate with lashings of whipped cream on top topped with mini chocolate fish and white chocolate chips. Any good fish and chips needs tomato sauce and this has been recreated using mixed berry sauce oozed over the top. We hope you have fun with our creation and enjoy.
