I completely forgot to mention this in my last post! I have no idea how I could forget to share such an amazing discovery with you all... so here it is!
So, we're on the coast and looking for a starbucks. I'm not much of a coffee drinker, and remembered hearing about a captain crunch berry frappucino somewhere in blog land. But couldnt remember where. Captain crunch berry cereal is one of my all time favorites, but for some reason it usually leaves the roof of my mouth raw. Now I am in NO way implying that this keeps me from eating it. ;) ANYHOW, I didnt know the recipe so I did a google search on my phone and found this website.
They gave an actual recipe:
"The 'Captain Crunch' at Starbucks
If
you haven't ordered the Strawberries and Creme frappuccino yet, you're
in for a treat with this one; order this with a shot of caramel, two
shots of toffee, one shot of hazelnut, and two scoops of chocolate chips - guaranteed to super-charge your day."
Now that seemed like a pretty long list of ingrediants, and I was definitely on the verge of chickening out. I mean how do I order it? Do I ask for captain crunch berry frapp, or do I just list how to make it? Would they look at me like I'm a difficult idiot of a customer? Well, it was my turn in line, and I mustered up my courage, and said, "Theres this drink I've been wanting to try its called the captain crunch berry frappuccino, before I could finish the lady (being VERY patient with me) asked if anyone there recognized the drink. One girl piped up and said "yep! Its a strawberries and cream with a pump of toffee nut." Instantly I'm thinking... uhh... theres more, I need a pump of hazelnut, and a pump of caramel, and some chocolate chips. Only... I didnt say that. I DID muster up the courage to request the chocolate chips. So glad I did. :D It was yyuuummmy! Completely hooked I am. As they're making it the starbucks ladies are talking amongst themselves and she's like you HAVE To try this it totally takes like the cereal. I felt all proud and victorious.
One pump of toffee nut was perfect, and the chocolate chips added some nice ceareal-ish texture. My dad thought I was crazy, why would you want to drink a cereal? I suppose he does have a good point, and I suppose my answer would be because I can! :P
I've looked online and seen a few different variations on the recipe, one pump hazelnut, and one pump toffee nut. I guess you'd jus have to experiment to your liking.
So anyone feel like an ice cold drink of captain berries, I HIGHLY recommend you give it a whirl. Be sure and report back!! ;)
