This special mix is almost more dessert than drink. Vanilla ice cream and chocolate chips make it truly decadent, while chocolate liqueur and crème de menthe turn it into an adults-only beverage.

| 1 scoop vanilla ice cream | 1/2 ounce white crème de menthe (or peppermint schnapps) | |
| 2 ounces Baileys mint chocolate liqueur | 1/4 cup chocolate chips |
Combine the ice cream, Baileys and crème de menthe in a blender and blend for about 5 seconds.
Add about 1/2 cup of ice and blend until smooth. (If the ice cream is too soft, add a few more ice cubes to make it thicker.)
Add the chocolate chips and blend for 2 seconds (just enough to fold them into the mix).
Pour into a tall glass.
