. . . Chocolate Iced Coffee Drink Revisited . . .

This post has been my most viewed post in the history of my blog. I am enjoying a cup of this frosty drink right now and thought I should share it again for all of my new readers. It really is one of the yummiest treats! I hope you all enjoy it.

• • • • • • iced chocolate coffee drink

I love iced coffee and make a cup everyday with some half and half and a few packs of Splenda. I brew a big pot of coffee and keep it in the fridge so it's right ready to go when I'm ready for a cool coffee drink. Sometimes I crave something a little richer and this drink is the perfect remedy for that craving. So easy but so yummy--my son fights me for it if I only make enough for one cup.

• You will need Half and Half, Hot Chocolate Packets ( I like Swiss Miss. I love that they have other flavors now too ) , Sweetner and Coffee

• Pour desired amount of half and half and coffee into blender. Add sweetner and hot chocolate packet. Depending on the amount of coffee and half and half I sometimes use more than one packet of hot chocolate mix.

• Run the blender until the mixture is well combined.

• I use a StarbucksDouble Walled Cup that I have had since they came out with them a couple years ago--it's like a Tervis Tumbler and they are great! I fill my cup with some ice and pour the coffee mixture over it and ENJOY.

• • • •Other Iced Coffee Ideas:

• Blend some butterscotch instant pudding mix, cinnamon, half and half and coffee together and serve over ice. This is really good with some pumpkin added to it

• Blend coffee, half and half and some caramel ice cream topping and serve over ice

• • • •What is your favorite coffee drink?

. . . Coffee Milkshake . . .

Remember when I did a post on Iced Coffee? It's always my go to drink when I first wake up in the morning but when I'm craving something rich and delicious and refreshing I love making a Coffee Milkshake (My son is a bit over the moon for these too-don't tell the pediatrician). The key to make it delicious is adding some pudding mix powder which makes it nice and thick. Yummy! In the fall it's amazing to add some pureed pumpkin and the butterscotch pudding.
