Best Places For Chocolate Milkshakes In Orange County

We're not entirely too sure who and or how these National celebratory days are assigned, but when it comes to devoting an entire day to the gloriously cool concoction of adding chocolate ice cream to milk in a blender – it's hard to be cynical. The milkshake, arguably, is the quintessential comfort food. Generally speaking, it works as a treat after winning the class spelling bee, it works as a vessel of romance on a first date (with two straws of course), and it pairs well with tasty burger on a Summer day. Both young and old, it's impossible to indulge in a chocolate milkshake and not crack a smile. So, we felt that there was no better reason to celebrate than that – here are a few places in Orange County where the chocolate milkshake celebration is taken especially serious.
