With National Unicorn Day set to take place on April 9th, the popular Mid-Atlantic convenience store chain Sheetz has debuted a picture-perfect new drink dubbed the Candy Crunch Milkshake. While candy-infused shakes are nothing new, this deliciously sweet drink boasts a hot pink hue that worthy of anyone's Instagram feed.
The new Candy Crunch Milkshake is a hybrid shake made from a mouth-watering combination of ice cream, Jolly Rancher candies, whipped cream, and rainbow-colored sprinkles. The new drink joins the chain's extensive lineup of dessert-themed milkshakes, which include Cinnabon, Cake Batter Cream, Mint Cookies and Cream, and Chocolate Fluffernutter.
Available at all 500 Sheetz locations across the Mid-Atlantic, the hot pink shake is a Millennial-friendly drink with a deliciously sweet twist.
