Does the caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino have caffeine

It's Memorial Day weekend—the kick-off to summer—which means hot days that call for cold drinks. For me, that means plenty of icy coffee beverages and Starbucks Frappuccinos.

I love just about every single Starbucks beverage, hot and cold, but since my family and I decided we were going to cut back on our Starbucks bills, it was time to make more copycat beverages at home. And this Copycat Starbucks Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino is my new favorite.

Both my daughter and I just had one and we both finished it to the last sip. We really enjoyed the icy caramel coffee frappe with a nice crunch on top. I recently posted another caramel frappe, but this one is different—just by a few ingredients.
