Recipe of the Moment - Werther's Milkshakes

So the other night Brad and I wanted milkshakes. But it was like midnight so Margie's wasn't open, and neither was Potbelly, and getting a midnight oreo cookie shake at Jack in the Box is just not the same without Skeletor shaking his cup at you for your change.

Brad then says I should make my own milkshake. I've never done such a thing, so I scour the internet for oreo cookie shake recipes. I found some good ones, but, of course, I didn't have any oreos at my disposal, and didn't feel like going to the grocery store.

Instead, I remember that we have some Werther's Caramels left over from who knows when that we keep hoping people will eat when they come over and never seem to. So I look online for a good Werther's Milkshake recipe, thinking that of course someone has come up with this idea at some point in time. But there is nothing. The internet fails me. I am forced to do things on my own.

Turns out, I needn't have worried. They were awesome. The perfect late night snack. And we finally used those dang candies.
