If you live in one of the 15 Western states served by Jack in

the Box, you have no doubt cracked a gut from the hilarious

TV ads produced by this popular hamburger chain. In the spots

a suit-wearing “Jack” runs the company, even though he’s got

a bulbous antenna ball for a head with a giant smiley-face

painted on it. He has a private jet, plays golf, even has kids

with mini antenna-ball heads.

Jack also has a featured shake flavor that, it turns out,

is very easy to make at home with a blender, ice cream, milk

and a handful of Oreo cookies. Sure the drive-thru is convenient

and easy. But if you don’t feel like getting out, now you can

enjoy this clone at home from the first fast food chain in the

country to use a drive-thru window way beck when.

3 cups vanilla ice cream

1 1/2 cups milk

8 Oreo cookies

1. Combine the ice cream and milk in a blender and mix on low

speed until smooth. Stir the shake with a spoon to mix, if

necessary.

2. Break Oreo cookies while adding them to the blender. Mix on

low speed for 5 to 10 seconds or until cookies are mostly pureed

into the shake, but a few larger pieces remain. Stir with a spoon

if necessary to help combine cookies.

3. Pour shake into two 12-ounce glasses.

Serves 2.
