Back to School Treats

Summer is winding down, and we are celebrating with #BacktoSchoolTreats hosted by Terri from Love and Confections and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures.

All week-long 30 bloggers will be sharing 100+ fantastic recipes for both parents and kids, with breakfasts, snacks, desserts, and drinks to get you back in the school routine. 

Iced Caramel Mocha

I’ve focused on kid-friendly snacks during #BacktoSchoolTreats week, so today I am sharing something just for the parents and teachers!

My son’s summer school actually starts an hour earlier compared to the regular school year, so I have been playing around with a few much needed caffeinated drinks to mix things up a bit and get me through the morning.

One of my new favorites is this Iced Caramel Mocha. Chilled espresso or strongly brewed coffee is flavored with chocolate sauce, vanilla, a splash of caramel syrup, and milk (dairy or almond) before pouring into an ice-filled glass and serving immediately. 

For a bit more indulgence, decorate the inner wall of the glass with a drizzle of chocolate sauce before adding the ice and coffee. You can also top the Iced Caramel Mocha with whipped cream, even more chocolate syrup, and caramel sauce (I especially love my Vanilla Bean Caramel Sauce).

Want to keep the mocha from becoming watered down as the ice melts? Substitute regular ice cubes with coffee ice cubes instead! Pour brewed coffee into desired ice cube molds and freeze until solid.
