A new use for your favorite childhood candy, a Nerds milkshake is fruity, sweet, and so much fun. It’s going to take you back to the good ol’ days!
I have such fond memories growing up of going to church softball games and watching my dad play in the church league. It was a great opportunity to spend time with my friends, and clearly the best part about these evenings was heading to the concession stand and loading up on treats.
One of my favorite candies were Nerds and to this day, they bring back such fun memories.
Love Nerds? You’ll love Nerds Rice Krispie treats, too!
Milkshakes are ice cream you can drink. Pretty special stuff: ice cream + Nerds + whipped cream. Now we’re really talking.
You know what might be the VERY best thing about milkshakes? They take about two seconds to whip up. A great treat in less than 5 minutes? Count me in.
This milkshake is versatile, too — throw in whatever kind of Nerds you love. My grocery store happens to carry packages with a mixture of grape and strawberry. That combination makes an absolutely delicious and flavorful milkshake.

Nerds Milkshake
Ingredients
- 3 scoops scoops vanilla ice cream (about 1 heaping cup)
- ½ cup milk
- 1 pkg. (1.65 ounce) strawberry & grape Nerds candy, extra if desired for garnish (or any flavor you like)
- whipped cream for topping, if desired
Instructions
- In a blender, combine ice cream, milk, and Nerds candy. Blend until smooth.
- Garnish with whipped cream and additional Nerds candy, if desired.
Notes
- Add more ice cream for a thicker milkshake and more milk for a thinner milkshake.
- Nutrition information does not include Nerds or whipped cream. Package information for Nerds states that one 1.65 oz. box is 3 servings, 60 calories per serving, so if you use the whole box for this milkshake, it would be 180 calories.

This milkshake totally made my day and takes me back to my childhood when my brother and I would always order Nerds Blizzards from Dairy Queen! Best milkshake ever!
This sounds so fun, Rachel! I haven’t had Nerds in about 20 years ;)
James and I have a friend whose favorite thing in the entire world is Nerds. He can’t get them in England, so we always have to take giant boxes over when we visit. Next time we go, I am totally making him this milkshake!
LOVE this combo, Rachel. Totally brings me back to my childhood! So pretty, too!
love milkshakes, not really a NERDS candy person–but my kids are!
Emmet always gets the Nerds slushy at Sonic, he is going to love this!
How freaking fun is this?!! I haven’t had nerds in FOREVER!!! Love this!
Oh how I miss the watermelon laffy taffy (with the sketchy candy seeds) at our local softball games. Love this!
AWESOME! I haven’t had nerds in years but I remember pouring them directly from the box into my mouth. Great photos by the way :)
Ever since Sonic came out with their line of Nerds milkshakes on their menu I’ve been tempted, but then always get lured in by chocolate and go that route!
I may have to give them a try now!
ooh I didn’t even know Sonic had Nerds milkshakes (would you believe I’ve never eaten there?). That’s dangerous knowledge to have though — tempting!!!
