Scribbles About Food: Cotton Candy Frappuccino+ My Thoughts on the Mini Frap

Okay now I've actually tried all the fraps and... this is definitely one of my favorite... I'll let you know in my final Scribbles About Food which one of these wins it for me... Idk if I've even decided yet... but this is a top contender for sure.

So this I think has always been a thing on the secret starbucks menu... but now its one of their LTD flavors and it tastes awesome. I believe all it is is a Vanilla Bean with Raspberry Syrup... it tastes like a cotton candy and it is awesome.

I think even though it tastes quite a bit like cotton candy, the raspberry is quite present. Like its noticeable that there is raspberry in this frap. Its really good. I happen to like Raspberry a lot and I feel like the flavor is nice and summery and it still has a cotton candy vibe to it... I'm pretty impressed.

This isn't something that you can just down a grande of... you need to sip it and keep it for a while. Its wayyy too sweet to just have all at once, you'll probably get sick... but I think that I prefer to drink something more slowly in the summer because it does get really hot out and you'll have this for the entire time you're out doing whatever you are doing. If your outside by a pool, at the beach, going for a walk, sitting outside of starbucks, or even just in a hot car... you have a drink to accompany you and cool you down through all of that.

I got this and I also tried this in one of the new Mini Frap sizes... and I've got to be honest here... I thought the mini size was a rip off. Its a little bigger than I expected... but its still tiny and it isn't that much cheaper than the Tall... so If you just want a taste of it... you might as well just get a tall. Its only a little bigger and only a little more expensive. I'll insert an insta of my mini frap next to my friend's Tall Frap. At the bottom. Or here... or somewhere... if I get to it... lol.




Is this better than Cool Ranch Doritos. I think its on par. I don't know if the sophistication is really the same as the complex flavors of Cool Ranch Doritos... actually it is. Because it has the cotton cand flavor... but also the distinctive vanilla bean and raspberry. So yeah. It is as sophisticated as Cool Ranch Doritos and probably better. I know I said I liked this more than the others and I rated them mostly better than Cool Ranch Doritos... but right now I'm really hungry and Cool Ranch Doritos sound more appealing to me than this frap... so that is affecting my vote a little.

Stay Classy!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
