Elsie said she ordered a "tall" but they made a little mistake. Then she pawned this highly addictive drink off on me.
It's totally cool for your high-calorie drink to be bigger than your head right?
My hips never stood a chance. Sigh.
In case you haven't heard: if you get a strawberry frappe and add toffee nut syrup then it totally tastes like Captain Crunch cereal. It's weird. And delicious.
Ha ha! That is what sisters are for, right? Knowing it tastes like Captain Crunch is some dangerous knowledge!

And I LOVE your hair!!

Not happy with you right now......we are going to be neck deep in snow by morning and I'm going to have to treck out for a Captain Crunch frape ;)

Next time tell them to add a few scoops of chocolate chips - then you get a li'l crunch in there! Best part of managing my own Barnes & Noble cafe was making up different frap recipes!

*xo...

one of my very favorite drinks. :)

A friend of mine used to work at starbucks, and she'd figure out all kinds of concoctions. She used to make me a 'captain crunch' all the time :)

Breakfast in a glass!
I used to make a lot of black eyed chais for myself when I worked in a coffee house. 2 shots of espresso mixed with Oregon chai and milk. Coffee and tea.

I'm in a loving mood, what can I say. ;)

You should make the cupcake version of this!
Posted by: Nicole | January 9, 2011 at 02:08 AM
that's a happy mistake!
Posted by: Nicole | January 9, 2011 at 09:51 PM
I HAVE to try this! And yes, it is totally acceptable to have a drink that's taller than your head ;) x
Posted by: Louise | January 10, 2011 at 09:58 AM
now if they had one that tastes like lucky charms i would be in heaven.

Dear Emma,
You do not know what you have started with the captian crunch frappes. About 7 months ago I moved to Vienna and after reading this blog I hiked to the closest Starbucks and asked them for it. Not only did I get weird stares for about 30 seconds but after explaining what it is supposed to taste like everyone behind the counter made extra to try.
May I say it tastes absolutly delicious and I have a new favorite. I can't pass a Starbucks without wanting to ordering another.

I just tried this last night.
Favorite. Drink. Ever. Love this.
Thanks for the idea!

Yum. I get a slightly different version (because I need the coffee)... coffee frap, add strawberry & 2 pumps toffee nut (3 if it's a grande). Mmmmmmm.
Posted by: Laura Reaux | January 20, 2011 at 02:34 PM
Do you know the pumps you need to order to make it taste correctly? Or do you just always say, "Add toffee nut"? I used to work at a Starbucks and I WISH someone would have told me this drink existed back then... sounds so good.
