The sun is shining, the temperature is a perfect 74 degrees, and the moment you step out the door, you're struck with an overwhelming urge to jump through every sprinkler you see...until you realize that your 9:30 meeting isn't going anywhere. Having to sit in an office this time of year never fails to stir up our nostalgia for carefree childhood summers, when our most pressing concern was chasing down the ice-cream truck on sweltering afternoons.
While we can't get you out of work for a frozen treat, we think we found something even better: a Malibu rum-spiked take on a crunchy candy bar, complete with vanilla ice cream, shredded coconut, and, of course, lots of melty chocolate. Blend it up and treat yourself — during after-work hours, that is.
