BUCKHEAD — In an effort to keep patrons warm this winter, Shack Shack is introducing Shack Hot Chocolate, made with a blend of bittersweet dark chocolates, caramel sauce, sea salt, and fresh milk. And because this is the South and it's not that uncommon to see a 70 degree day in December, this month's frozen custard menufeatures flavors like Candy Cane Crunch and eggnog. [EaterWire]
