Method
Prepare Glass Decoration
- 1
Melt chocolate for frosting
Chop the semisweet chocolate if needed and place in a microwave-safe bowl with the corn syrup. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy (about 45–60 seconds total). Alternatively, melt in a double boiler. Let cool slightly but keep pourable.

Prep rim and coat with M&M's
Lightly brush the top rim of your serving glass with the softened butter or a little of the melted chocolate to act as adhesive. Dip or drizzle a thin band of the melted chocolate around the inner upper rim and immediately press or roll the rim into the mini M&M's so they stick. If you prefer a dripping effect, spoon some melted chocolate down the inside of the glass in streaks to create decorative drips.

Place the prepared glass in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes to set the chocolate while you make the shake.
Make the Shake
- 4
Combine ingredients
In a blender add 3 cups chocolate ice cream, 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup chocolate fudge cake crumbs (break the cake slice into chunks if using fresh), 2 tbs chocolate syrup and 1 tsp vanilla extract. If you want a thicker shake, omit ice; for a slightly thinner, add up to 1/2 cup ice. Do not overfill the blender—work in batches for large containers.
- 5
Blend to smooth
Pulse once to break up cake crumbs, then blend on medium-high until very smooth and creamy, about 30–45 seconds. Scrape down the sides and blend 5–10 seconds more. Taste and adjust: add another tablespoon of chocolate syrup for more sweetness or up to 1/4 cup more milk if too thick.
Assemble & Garnish
- 6
Remove the chilled decorated glass from the refrigerator. For a clean presentation, you can spoon a little extra melted chocolate inside before pouring the shake to reinforce the drizzle look.
- 7
Pour the shake into the decorated glass slowly, leaving room at the top for toppings (about 1/2 inch).
- 8
Top with about 1/2 cup whipped cream (optional). Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of M&M's on top and add the chocolate shavings or an extra drizzle of chocolate syrup.
