Ingredients




1/2 cup caramel syrup (I used Hershey's)
1 TBSP real vanilla
2 TBSP chocolate powder or syrup (I used Nesquik)
2 cups whole milk (for an even more decadent creamer use half whole milk and half cream)

Preparation

1 Mix all ingredients into a pitcher and enjoy! I had my creamer with hazelnut coffee; even more Yum!

About

I was out of coffee creamer today. Now, that may seem like no biggie to you reading this, but to me, coffee is my "me-time." Even if I have to re-heat it 6 times, it's still the thing that I really look forward to when I wake up in the morning. Can any other mommas out there relate? I may have had no sleep from babies who are up all night long, but in the morning I get coffee! So everything seems right with the world for those few precious moments sipping my coffee.
I enjoy flavored coffee creamers, and no, not those fat-free flavored ones either. I want a nice yummy flavored cup of coffee in the mornings so I can feel like I'm getting something gourmet. Not gourmet, like I'm eating at some French bistro in Paris, but gourmet like I at least get to have a yummy cup of coffee before eating breakfast, or forgetting to eat breakfast with my 2 boys under the age of two! And no, milk and sugar will not do! This morning I had to do something! So I whipped up some coffee creamer! I may not even be buying any at the store anymore because this was SO good! No extra sugar needed!
And no, I'm not counting the calories of this because I am enjoying my coffee before attempting to eat healthy the rest of the day! I had everything in my pantry to make it too! Here's how you do it:
