My Frugal Favorite Things #1

This is the first instillation of postings about things that I really, really like. There is no ranking or specific field of interest, just any and everything here.

So, here we go...

My Frugal Favorite Things #1:
Baskin Robbins Cappucino Blasts. I love these things! They come in mocha, cappucino, and chocolate flavors. But you have to get a the cappucino flavor, and instead of vanilla ice cream, use fudge ice cream. That will give you the mocha flavor with a little more coffee flavor too. They're not really frugal at $3.50 each so...to make this a frugal favorite, I figured out how to make one at home!

These are all approximate measurements. You will have to adjust to your liking.
-about 1 cup of ice
-1/2 cup leftover or fresh coffee
-1/2 cup of milk
-1 heaping scoop of vanilla (or chocolate) ice cream
-a couple of Tbls. of chocolate syrup

Blend everything together in blender until ice is completely crushed. Sometimes I have to add more of the other ingredients to thicken it up or to make it taste just right. Pour into a large glass and top with whip cream and cinnamon or cocoa. Delicious!!!!
