If you like your coffee.. try this.. it’s a pretty good ringer for Starbucks Carmel Frappuccino, or Caribou Coffees Caramel Cooler.

Caramel Frapp Recipe:
2 c. ice
2/3 c. triple strength chilled coffee (I use instant, sometimes decaf)
2/3 c. milk
¼ c. caramel ice cream topping*
2 TBSP sugar

* I use the ice cream topping type in the squeeze bottle, but Starbucks caramel syrup would be even tastier.

Mix it in the blender to the preferred consistency.

For extra YUM! Top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel.

Keep in mind, it’s just an approximate… you can fudge the amount a bit and still come out just fine – and no one will know.  A good excuse to do some taste testing while you making your dish.

Put chicken and soups into the crock pot, turn on low for 8-10 hours. When you get home, cook rice according to package directions. Serve the chicken and gravy over rice.
