Chocolate Chip Frappe

So it was midnight and my Bear challenged me to make a frappe in the style of the java chip flavor at my favorite coffee chain...and I gladly accepted!  It's a work in progress, but I'd say it turned out delightful for a first try!

1 6oz cup of coffee
1/2 cup Silk Very Vanilla soy milk
1 tbsp hot cocoa
10-12 ice cubes
2 tbsp Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional: Hershey Syrup

Tools: Blender & Coffee Maker (or use instant, if you'd like)

1: Make a 6 oz cup of coffee.  I like to use my own coffee with the Ekobrew (highly recommend!!!):

2: Put everything (minus the chocolate chips) in the blender.  If you have the time to think about this in advance, cool the coffee in the refrigerator for a bit before you make this... it's essential for having more of a slushy drink

3: When ice is completely blended, add the chocolate chips and pulse a few times so as to keep some of the chocolate chips chunky

4: If you really like chocolate, add a bit of Hershey's syrup on top for fun!

Makes: 1 beverage

Note: Get creative!  Add some vanilla, peppermint, peanut butter or any other flavors that you might like with chocolate.
