I used 2 tablespoons homemade caramel sauce instead of the artificial sweetener. I also increased the coffee to 1 1/2 cups and the milk to 1 cup to make 2 venti frappuccinos. It was just like a caramel light frappuccino from Starbucks; sooo good!

i used regular brewed coffee and it still turned out good-just a much milder frap than the ones at starbucks. also i added a little unsweetened cocoa to make it a mocha.

Served it at a gathering yesterday evening, and I can't remember how many times I made a new batch. It went over extremely well, and most of the ladies at the meeting asked for the receipe. Excellent, and very easy to prepare.

Fantastic! Chilled my leftover morning coffee for a wonderful afternoon treat. Especially like the sugar/splenda mix. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
