Three letters to describe this treat..."OMG!" I don't even know where to start. This float is divinely scrumptious! Rootbeer float is me and Sweetpea's all time favorite afternoon treat, be at home or when out and about. This homemade rootbeer float is beyond comparison to what's out there, at least to the ones we've tried. The turtle ice cream takes this float to a higher notch! It's not just a simple sweet frothy thing, but the mixture of chocolate bits and pecans give a surprise crunch on every sip. I enjoy and love sharing sweet things with my daughter, either food or a moment of togetherness. My favorite part of enjoying this treat is at home. It's like a delightful summer afternoon routine of ours. Few days a week, on mid-afternoons, we both look forward to our "cuddle time", which means in our household is popping a movie in (Megamind to be exact, her favorite movie last summer and I swear we watched it a hundred times), cozying up on the sofa and sipping this frothy sweet treat! I know summer has past already however, we still do make them every now and then when the demands of our palates arise. Honestly, it's becoming a sweet tradition of ours and will be wonderfully reminisced by us in the future.

1 pint vanilla turtle ice cream (our favorite) or any vanilla chocolate chip ice cream
1 liter root beer

shaved chocolate, to garnish
