Oh. My. Gosh. This is so so SO good! Me and the kids LOVE Starbucks coffee drinks, but obviously can't afford to go and indulge very often. I found this recipe online about a year or so ago and decided to pull it out tonight and fix us all a treat. Every Sunday, DH fixes us a nice breakfast and we almost always have coffee. With it being summer and being so hot, we haven't drank much coffee, so we always have about half a pot left over. I've started freezing the coffee in an ice tray and making coffee cubes. Those came in really handy tonight for our coffee drinks. Here's the recipe if you are interested:
Frozen Frappuccino (makes 1 drink)
3 oz. coffee
2 T. sugar
1/2 c. milk
1 c. ice (I use my frozen coffee cubes)
3 T. caramel sundae topping (or chocolate syrup if you want a chocolate version)
Get out your Magic Bullet and . . . huh? You don't have a Magic Bullet? Well run out and get one NOW. I love my Magic Bullet. I make awesome salsa with that thing, but I'll save that for another post.
Back to the coffee drink -- mix all ingredients in your Magic Bullet (or whatever you have!). Top with whipped topping (Redi-Whip) and drizzle with caramel (or chocolate syrup for a chocolate drink). Honestly, this is as good or BETTER than that coffee chain place that charges like $5 for one of these. Try it, you'll love it!
Squirt and Scooby love the chocolate version -- even though it always gives Scooby a tummy ache. She thinks it's worth it. I personally have to have the caramel. It's to die for! And Squirt took a picture of them tonight, so look for them on his blog.
