What’s your favorite guilty pleasure? Dancing to “Gangnam Style?” Watching Honey Boo Boo drink her go-go juice? Downing milkshakes? All the above? Well I can’t help you deal with PSY’s intoxicating rhythms or America’s newest trashy reality TV show, but I can certainly share some unexpected delights you can create in the dining hall. I’m giving you my 100 percent guarantee that these milkshakes will definitely bring all the boys to the yard.

Before you add your go-to toppings, you first need to know how to make the basic milkshake. There’s no definite ratio of frozen yogurt to milk; it’s mostly based on personal preference. I followed these loose guidelines:

Basic Milkshake

Ingredients:
Vanilla or chocolate frozen yogurt
Skim (or 2%) milk

Directions:
1. Swirl any amount of the frozen yogurt flavor of your choice in a cup.
2. Pour milk into cup until it is just below the level of the froyo.
3. Stir together until you get your desired consistency.

Tip: Substitute chocolate milk to make chocolate milkshakes for an extra blast of richness.

Once you’ve got these basics down, it’s time to … “op, op, op,  op… Oppan Gangnam Style,” … wait, no. Sorry. It’s time to go crazy with a variety of delectable mix-ins.

Basic vanilla milkshake
Rainbow chocolate chip cookies from Hot Cookie Bar
Rainbow sprinkles

Directions:
1. After you’ve completed the basic vanilla milkshake, scoop up as much of the gooey, cookie-doughy goodness that is the Hot Cookie Bar as you can. (The night I made this milkshake, they had rainbow chocolate chip dough.)
2. Cut the cookies into bite-sized chunks and mix them into the milkshake.
3. Sprinkle some of the cookie dough chunks, rainbow sprinkles and chocolate syrup on top for heavenly finishing.
