Recipe Introduction


Sitting in your yard slurping one of these ice cream quenchers makes a summer day just about perfect. These old fashioned favorite are bound to lure the neighbors.





List of Ingredients



• 4 Milk chocolate curls from 7 oz. chocolate bar
  
• 1/4 C Chocolate syrup
  
• 1 Pint mint chocolate chip ice cream
  
• 2 C Carbonated water or cream soda, chilled
  
• 4 Mint leaves or sprigs of fresh mint
  






Instructions



1. Prepare the milk chocolate curls. From 7 oz. chocolate bar at room temperature. Cut off about 1/8 of the chocolate bar forming a piece about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. Carefully draw a vegetable peeler across the broad, flat surface of the chocolate bar, making 4 wide chocolate curls. Use a toothpick to transfer to the rim of each soda glass so the heat from your hand does not melt the curls.
   
2. Pour 1 t of the chocolate syrup into the bottom of each of 4 tall glasses. Add 1 scoop (1/4 c) of mint chocolate chip ice cream to each glass. Add 2 more t of chocolate syrup to each glass. Top with another scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
   
3. Slowly pour 1/2 C carbonated water or cream soda into each glass. Place a chocolate curl over the rim of each glass. Decorate with mint leaves or springs. Serves 4.
