What You’ll Need

Before we start, make sure you have all the ingredients ready. This frappe comes together in no time with just a few simple ingredients:

• Ice cubes
• 120 ml (4 oz) of milk of your choice (dairy or non-dairy)
• Chocolate-covered salty bretzels (a handful)
• Double shot of espresso
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
• Chocolate sauce (optional, for drizzling)

How to Make Your Chocolate Bretzel Frappe

Step 1: Prepare Your Blender

Start by setting up your blender on a stable surface. Add a generous amount of ice cubes to the blender. The ice is what gives the frappe its signature frosty texture, so don’t be shy!

Step 2: Add the Milk

Pour in 120 ml (4 oz) of milk. This recipe works beautifully with any type of milk, whether you prefer dairy or a plant-based option like almond or oat milk. Choose the one that suits your taste and dietary preferences.

Step 3: Toss in the Chocolate-Covered Bretzels

Now for the fun part—add a handful of chocolate-covered salty bretzels to the blender. These not only add a delightful crunch but also that perfect sweet-and-salty balance. The salty notes from the bretzels enhance the chocolate, creating a flavor explosion with every sip.

Step 4: Add the Espresso

Brew a double shot of espresso and pour it into the blender. The espresso adds a robust coffee flavor that perfectly complements the chocolate and bretzels. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a strong cup of coffee will work in a pinch.

Step 5: Blend Until Smooth

Put the lid on the blender and blend all the ingredients together until smooth. You want to make sure the ice is fully crushed and the bretzels are well incorporated into the mixture.

Step 6: Decorate Your Glass (Optional)

If you’re feeling fancy, take a glass and drizzle the inside with chocolate sauce to create a decorative ring pattern. This step is optional, but it makes the frappe look extra special!

Step 7: Pour and Top

Pour the blended frappe into your prepared glass. Top it with a generous dollop of whipped cream and an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce if you like. This final touch not only looks amazing but also adds an extra layer of indulgence.

Sip and Enjoy!

That’s it—your Chocolate Bretzel Frappe is ready to enjoy! This drink is the perfect blend of creamy, chocolatey goodness with a surprising hint of saltiness from the bretzels. It’s a unique treat that’s sure to impress anyone you make it for—or just yourself on a hot afternoon!

A Few Extra Tips

• Customize Your Frappe: Feel free to adjust the amount of chocolate-covered bretzels or the strength of the coffee to suit your taste. More bretzels will add extra crunch and saltiness, while a stronger coffee will give a more pronounced espresso flavor.
• Milk Alternatives: If you’re looking for a lighter option, try using skim milk or a low-fat milk alternative. For a creamier texture, go with whole milk or a rich non-dairy milk like coconut milk.
• Chill Your Glass: For an extra-cool experience, chill your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring in your frappe. It helps keep the drink colder for longer!

So next time you’re in the mood for a little adventure in your glass, give this Chocolate Bretzel Frappe a try. It’s easy to make, fun to drink, and perfect for anyone who loves a good sweet and salty combo. Enjoy!
