This was a pleasant surprise. We figured there was no way the kids could have the Mint Chocolate Swirl Shake at Arby’s, minus the Andes mints.
For those of you interested in the components: it’s made from their Vanilla Shake base, mint syrup (shipped in special for this promotion), the chocolate frosting from the chocolate turnovers, whipped cream, and of course Andes mints.

One of the best things about Arby’s is that their ingredient lists are thorough and updated regularly. One of the worst things about Arby’s is that their ingredient lists are thorough and updated regularly, but the old ones are never removed. I swear I can stumble across Arby’s ingredient PDFs from the turn of the century, but have the worst time finding the most current ingredient list. Here’s the most current Arby’s Ingredients – March, 2016, as of this writing. We actually had to piece together the soy-free status of the Mint Chocolate Swirl Shake with the helpful employees at our local Arby’s — Had I been able to locate this on my phone, we could have saved them the effort.
