Oh, how I wish you could come over and have a bite of this before you see what exactly is in it.  It tastes like a Wendy's Frosty, but chocolate-ier.  Chocolate-ier is better-ier.  It's my motto.

{More on this recipe in a minute.}

Have you seen Blendtec blenders on other food blogs?  Me, too.  I know it was wrong, but I coveted them.  Our blender, let's just say, was no bueno.  It lived in the dark recesses of a cabinet between the George Foreman grill and the salad spinner.

So, one glorious day, Blendtec emailed and asked if I might like to try their new blender AND give one away, too.  I did a happy dance right there in my kitchen.

You know what's amazing?  This Designer Series blender has gotten more use in the past 2 weeks than my KitchenAid mixer...and that is saying something.

Where are the buttons, you ask?  Oh, there ARE NO BUTTONS.  Seriously.  It's a touch screen...look:

Ta-da!!!  It's like a blender from the future...and is the easiest thing ever to wipe clean.  Oh, and the touch screen has preset buttons.  Making a dressing?  Press the dressing/sauce button.  Making a smoothie?  Press the smoothie button.  Making ice cream? Press the...and so on and so on.

The jar is called the WildSide Jar.  It has a 5th side...WILD!  What's wild about it is, everything comes out perfectly blended.

There's also the Twister Jar which is just the thing for nut butters, thick dips, baby food, and pasta.  Yes, pasta.

OK...are you ready for the recipe?  I promise, all of these ingredients come together for a delicious frozen chocolate treat.  You're going to flip when you see what's in it.  (And what's not.)

Fudgesicle Frosty
