Chocolate Soda or Float (Fountain Style & Lightened)
"Old-fashioned soda fountain drinks are almost entirely a matter of history now w/all the new beverage varieties. I still remember them fondly from my college dys when they were already disappearing from sight & long for the spec treat they were "back then". This satisfying concoction was born out of my desire to revisit that genre, but w/greater concern for my "hip health" than I had in those dys. *Enjoy* !"

This is yummy! It was so simple and very tasty. You wouldn't know it was a "light" drink! Thanks for sharing! -
Yummy! Such a simple ad tasty treat. I did use ice cream instead of frozen yogurt just because I already had the ice cream in the freezer. I used sprite zero too. This is perfect for the whole family...a real kid pleaser I'm sure. I will keep this in mind for a summertime "cool-down". (If summer ever gets here!) Thanks for posting. Made for Football Pool 2008. Congrats on the win! -
Fantastic!! Oh my, this was good. I used a low-fat French Vanilla ice cream and club soda. Simple, easy, and wonderful. Thanks for the memories, MP. And.. congrats on your Football win for Week #15. -

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
