Move Over Starbucks!

I had this major addiction to Starbucks Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccinos (DCCF) but as I would drink them I couldn't understand why they would cost so much. There didn't seem to be $5 plus worth of ingredients in them.  So I did a little search on the Internet for a copycat version and I struck gold.  I could make one for a fraction of the cost!  Without further ado I give you the homemade DCCF recipe


Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccinos (DCCF)

• 1 cup of milk (whole, reduced fat, or skim. For a special treat, add coconut milk)
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips (mmm... chocolate!)
• 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup (Hershey's will do)
• 2 cups of ice
• 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Whipped Cream 

Blend it all up, top with whipped cream and Enjoy!  


NOTES:  Sometimes I add a pinch of two of salt. I will also be posting an amazing chocolate syrup recipe that you can use with this recipe.  If you are like me and run out of syrup but really need a DCCF you can use 2 TBS of sugar and 2 TBS Cocoa instead (vary the amounts to your taste).  AND if you are like me you might add a little spinach or spouted sunflower seeds and turn this into a semi healthy kinda green smoothie.
