we have tried various amts of chocolate and/or vanilla ice cream with milk and have OVALTINE we are using as the malt powder
and verily she will lament that it aint right. so what's the secret to these damn things? must it contain blitzed malted milk balls for that *perfect* malt flavor? are we barking up the wrong tree with the OVALTINE? does anyone have a compass in this twisted landscape of malts?

For whatever it matters: I was at Highland Park's McDonalds on 2nd Street last night. A friend ordered the Shamrock Shake only to learn they have stopped offering it for the season. We just looked back in disbelief, especially since St. Patrick's Day was the very next day. Could not get a clear explanation if this was a planned cessation or they ran out of Shamrock Shake mix. It just seemed odd not to continue through St. Patrick's Day.
Regards,

On Tuesday, McDonald's welcomed four new Shamrock Shakes into the world. The Chocolate Shamrock Shake, Shamrock Chocolate-Chip Frappe, Shamrock Hot Chocolate and Shamrock Mocha all weigh in at 21 or 22 ounces*; both parent company and babies are doing fine.
Beginning February 15, the fan-favorite milkshake as well as an Oreo Shamrock McFlurry will go on sale at US restaurants for a limited time.

Au contraire, I love me some Ovaltine once in awhile. However, Ovaltine is a mix of malted milk & cocoa...so if you're only looking to add malted milk flavor to a shake, it might not always be the right tool for the job.

An easy challenge: Some, but not all, Targets have it for $3.99: https://www.target.com/p/carnation-malt ... A-14963242

Not sold at my store or any of the nearby ones, unfortunately, but it can be shipped there. I’m sure there must be a nearby store that has it, but I’m not sure which. I could swear I used to see it at Jewel.
