      Spoon or squirt in chocolate syrup, about 1 to 2 tablespoons. Also pour in 1 packet of hot chocolate mix for every 10 ounces of milkshake.

    I adore chocolate but being a Vermonter I worship maple syrup. Follow the directions for a shake up to the vanilla looking stage then add 1Tbs. real maple syrup grade B which is for cooking. It has much more flavor than grade A fancy. If grade A is all you can find add more to taste.
