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.

2 cup Ice
1/8 tsp Xanthan Gum
Squirt of Whipped Cream
Drizzle Torani Carmel Sauce

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.

If you are a fan of Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino’s like we are give this CopyCat Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Recipe a try. We are totally satisfied at how yummy and perfect the recipe turned out. We will definitely be saving huge dollars making one of our favorite Starbucks drinks at home.
