I love this recipe, and its such a shame that Starbucks don't sell it anymore it was my fave drink <3 

so i found the recipe ad have been using it ever since!


Homemade Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino
4-oz strong coffee, cold
4-oz cold milk
3 tbsp cocoa powder
3-4 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup crushed chocolate wafer cookies (or Oreos)

In a blender, combine coffee, milk, cocoa powder, sugar, chocolate wafer cookies (or Oreos) and ice. Add slightly more ice for a thicker drink. Blend at low speed until ice is crushed, then turn up blender speed to high until drink is smooth and creamy, about 30-40 seconds.
Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream and crushed chocolate wafer cookies.
