 You can chop up and substitute any candy you wish. This is a great way to use up Halloween candy. I LOVE chopping up snickers and adding them. Also, I make a double batch and then add more varieties of candy! You can substitute in nut-free ingredients. Have fun creating your own variety. Below is my favorite combo! Single batch:

 When I can't get out to get coffee, or just do not want to spend the money on a frozen blended coffee high, I make them at home. Basic Frappuccino: 1/2 cup of strong black coffee 1/2 cup of ice cubes 1/2 cup of Milk 2 tsp of sugar Mix together in a blender at full power for 1 minute. Pour into tall glass and drink with a straw. Now, I hate ice chips in my frozen drink. So, when I make a pot of coffee I freeze the left over coffee in an ice cube trays. I use these instead of plain ice for almost every frozen coffee recipe. I substitute in almond milk for regular milk at times. I sometimes use a bit of flavored creamer. I can adjust recipes to my liking. I may add whipped cream, or skip it. This goes for chocolate or caramel drizzle. I also get drink flavorings and make whatever I desire that day. Today I added chocolate syrup and a splash of vanilla. Very yummy! Have fun! It is a fraction of the cost when you make these at home! Frozen Coffee Mocha: 1 ice cube tray of frozen coffee 2 tablespoons and 1 cup of milk 1 1/2 tablespoons of cocoa powder 2 tablespoons of powder sugar 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla Microwave 2 Tbs. milk til hot enough to melt cocoa powder and powder sugar. mix in vanilla and stir well.
