Almost nobody can resist a Starbucks frappuccino. It’s the milkshake of coffee. The classic double chocolate chip is one of my favorites since any type of chocolate is always on the menu for me. But all those drive-thru runs add up; it may not be practical to treat yourself to one every day. At least, not one that you have to pay for. With this Copycat Starbucks Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino Recipe, you can satisfy your craving anytime you want right at home and save a pretty penny while doing so.
This Starbucks Double Chocolate Chip Frappe drink is so easy to make with basically one step, which is blending the ingredients together. The second step is just pouring into the cup and topping off with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It’s seriously divine. My family all gave this creamy, chocolaty frappe a thumbs up, and no one could tell the difference between the original and this one.

Does Starbucks Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino Have Coffee in It?
Just a note: This particular Frappuccino does not contain coffee. I know what you are thinking, “It’s Starbucks, where’s the coffee?” There are a few Starbucks chilled beverages that do not actually contain coffee, however, and this is one of them. That is the reason I make this for my son, as well as my grown daughter and hubby. If you’re craving the caffeine fix, you can always add a shot of brewed (then chilled) coffee or espresso for a mocha flavor. The chocolate will still shine though.
