Salted Caramel Milkshakes

Some  days just call for a special treat. Especially those days that are already over 80 degrees in the beginning of April and you decided to turn on your oven and make your kitchen close to 100 degrees. Plus I have that salted caramel sauce in the fridge that has to be used up.

This milkshake seemed like a great use of some of that caramel sauce.
