Easy and Delicious Frappe Recipe

In this simple and yummy recipe, I'll teach you how to make a frappe. At Colectivo or Starbucks they can be pretty expensive...plus you can make this anytime and any flavor you want!

By the way, I got a nice DSLR camera, so my blog photos will be much better, now!

Here's what you'll need:

Ice cubes

Coffee (It can be any kind. I usually use leftovers my parent's didn't drink in the morning, but you could also use coffee from a Keurig machine or instant coffee).

Milk or coffee creamer

Chocolate or caramel syrup

A blender

 

Step #1.

Add approximately 2 cups of ice to your blender.

 

Step #2.

Add 1/2 a cup coffee and 1/4 cup milk or creamer

 

Step #3.

Add chocolate or caramel syrup

There are tons of recipes out there for different flavor frappes, like s'mores, birthday cake, probably cotton candy, and a lot more and I may do some things like that in the future, but for now I just added chocolate syrup.

 

Step #4.

Blend!

Warning: This is very loud...

Blend until the crunching noises aren't super loud and it looks similar to this!

 

Step #4.

Pour and Drink

I always put a layer of chocolate syrup on the bottom, and once I've poured in the frappe I add a swirl to the top, too. You could also add whipped cream but I didn't have any.

 

This is really yummy and easy! I hope to do more recipes soon. :)



Valentine's Day Candy Bark

Welcome to The Creativity Tree!

Today I will be doing a tutorial on making Valentine's Day candy bark.


The finished product

What you will need:
Candy melts (I got these red, vanilla flavored candy melts at Aldi)
Mix-ins (I used conversation candy hearts and valentines day candy corn broken into pieces)



Instructions:

*Begin by covering a baking sheet with wax paper.

*Then microwave 2 cups of candy melts in a large bowl, microwaving in thirty second intervals, mixing in between, till smooth.

 *Add mix-ins and stir till they are coated. (Add as many or little mix-ins as you like. From previous times of trying this, I have seen that more mix-ins adds more flavor and is better.)



*Pour the candy mixture onto your wax paper. Use a spoon/spatula to even out the mixture. You can make it thin or thick. Top it off with sprinkling more mix-ins on top.

*Let the bark cool/harden completely. Break it or cut it into pieces (I did pizza shaped pieces).



I used a spatula to pry the bark off of the pan. The wax paper makes it easy to take off.
It's like a giant cookie. Yum!

Enjoy this recipe! It's delicious.
