I think warm weather has arrived and I know that this CopyCat Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Recipe is going to save me some big $$’s this summer. Strabucks is a slight (ok, I can confess… BIG!) addiction that I and my children have. Our addiction kicks in to overdrive mode during the warmer months. We all love Starbucks Frappuccinos. My personal favorite is a Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino. So yummy.

There is a slight problem with our Starbucks addiction during the summer months. Most of us have spent up our Starbucks Gift Card balances from Christmas, ha ha. So our addiction becomes quite costly.

While working on our budget this past weekend the hubby noted how much we had spent at Starbucks this past month. Yikes! I had not realized that the kiddos and I had spent as much as we had. I immediately decided that I was needing a CopyCat Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Recipe for us to enjoy this summer. I did so well replicating our other favorites Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade, Starbucks Egg Salad Sandwich and also our CopyCat Starbucks Lemon Loaf so I had real hopes at replicating my other favorite drink.

Many CopyCat Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Recipes online forget to mention one of the key ingredients in many Starbucks Drinks… Xanthan Gum. Xanthan Gum is the ingredient that keeps your drink from separating after being blended. Xanthan Gum can be found in the naturals baking section at many grocery stores including Walmart and at Kroger. You can also order  Bob’s Red Mill Gum Xanthan, 8-Ounce through Amazon. The price for mine was around $10 at Kroger. The price may seem quite high but keep in mind the one bag will last you a very long time. You only need just a pinch of the Xanthan Gum to do the trick.

  1. Hi Jen, thanks for the recipe.
    Just a suggestion: please stop including comments from people who have not made the recipe. Comments such as, “This looks good. I can’t wait to try it!” add nothing of value to the thread. Also, don’t publish questions that you have ALREADY ANSWERED in your post. These people are either stupid or lazy or both.
    Thanks.

      Hey, there Benny! I just wanted to say that you really don’t have to be calling people out like that, their supporting Jen and her AMAZING recipe. They’re not stupid, or lazy, they’re just showing their support. Thanks for listening.

    1. Smuckers has a marshmallow topping and a hot fudge topping or maybe some Hershey syrup. Add some graham cracker crumbs. Haven’t had a s’mores one so I’m not sure how one tastes. A s’more is marshmallow, chocolate and grahams. I would experiment!

  2. I just wanted to say Thank You for this recipe! Since I work from home I wanted to start making my own coffee since I’ll only drink dessert coffee’s I purchased a Ninja IQ Blender and I enjoy this recipe more than Starbucks! I stop using the Xanthan Gum and I use Smuckers Carmel sauce(probably more than what i should, but it’s so good!) Thanks Again! It really is a lifesaver!

  3. Thanks for coming to dream create and inspire party, love the Starbucks copy cat, can’t tell the difference!
