My Starbucks Weakness


Anyone that knows me well knows how much I love Starbucks' Caramel Frappuccino. I can't go by Target in Wake Forest without stopping and going by Starbucks for one of these overly sweet delicious frozen drinks.

I came upon this recipe on the internet and tried it. Wow, is it close.....very, very close to the one Starbucks makes. Plus....it costs a whole lot less. Try the recipe out and see for yourself.

Starbucks Caramel or Mocha Frappuccino Recipe

Ingredients

* 3/4 cup double-strength coffee, cold
* 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
* 1 cup low-fat milk
* 2 cups ice
* Caramel topping, 3 Tbs
* Whipped Cream
* Hersheys Chocolate Syrup 3 tbs


Directions

1. Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker: That should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee. Chill before using.
2. To make drink, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until ice is crushed and drink is smooth. Pour into two 16-ounce glasses, and serve with a straw.
3. CARAMEL Version:
4. For this version, add 3 tablespoons of caramel topping to the original recipe and prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream and drizzle additional caramel over the whipped cream.
5. MOCHA Version:
6. For this version, add 3 tablespoons Hershey's chocolate syrup to the original recipe and prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream, if desired.
