Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

If you think the root beer float can't be topped, you need to get your hands on a black cow. Adding in chocolate syrup makes the float even richer. A perfect homemade summertime treat, especially with a topping of whipped cream.

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
6 ounces root beer
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Drizzle the chocolate syrup into the bottom of a tall, chilled glass. Add the root beer, filling to within 2-inches of the top of the glass. Stir gently to mix the root beer with the syrup.
Top the drink with the scoop of ice cream and serve immediately.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

A great summertime drink for kids and grownups. Diet conscious? Try diet root beer, sugar free syrup, and splenda sweetened vanilla ice cream!
