Well it's time to get things in motion with another entry, so since I spend more than enough time on this magical place called "Pintrest" I figure I will add some photos and some things I have tired that actually work so here goes....


DIY Caramel Creamer

I looove coffee... Starbucks to be exact...but since there is a constant struggle to buy gas or buy gas...Starbucks takes a backseat most of the time, but my Folgers does get the job done.. So since I hate power creamers and the super awesome caramel creamer cups are almost as much as a Viente -caramel-ooweey-goodneess I knew there had to be an cheap DIY alternative...

(evaporated milk not in photo) 

  • Sweetened condensed milk $1.50-2.00(depending on size and store)
  • caramel candy $2.00-$3.00  (at least 40-50 pieces)
  • vanilla (varies on brand)
  • milk or evaporated milk $1.00-$1.75(depending on size and store)






Melt the caramels with a little milk or evaporated milk(1/4 cup)
I typically use 10-15 pieces of caramel..Low-Med heat is best..yes it does take a while but it takes longer getting the burnt caramel smell out of the house.
Yummy Caramel



Once the caramel is melted I pour my sweetened condensed milk, remaining evaporated milk and caramel mixture into my container and shake, shake, shake shake..and whaa-laa!!! 

Ta-Da!!
