Copycat Starbucks Cotton Candy Frappuccino

While going Starbucks daily sounds like a dream come true, it can also get pricey. I LOVE their Frappuccinos but HATE the price tag that comes with them. Seriously?! Why are they so freaking expensive? When I do treat myself to one every now and again, it runs me a whopping $4.85 a pop. For someone as cheap as me it gives me a slight pain in the heart every time I hand over my card to be swiped.

In honor of the new Frap flavors I’ve come up with an alternative to the cotton candy frappuccinos! Make your own at home and take these bad boys with you! They are super easy and CHEAP to make.

INGREDIENTS

Raspberry Syrup:

1/2 cup Seedless Raspberry All Fruit Spread
1/4 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Water

Frappuccino

1 cup crushed Ice
1/2 cup Milk
2 scoop Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
3 tbsp Raspberry Syrup
1/4 tsp Vanilla
Whipped Cream for topping

DIRECTIONS
Place syrup ingredients in small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.

Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Put ice, milk, vanilla and ice cream in blender.

Add raspberry syrup (and 1 drop red food coloring for pinker color) and blend for 20 seconds or until you reach proper consistency. Enjoy!!
