Java Chip Frappuccino Copycat

If you haven't yet tried the Java Chip Frap from Starbucks, you are missing out. You're probably also richer and thinner than I am because they are spendy ... and caloriffic, I assume, because everything awesome is. I created this home version for my 11-going-on-34 tween to save myself some coin because once I introduced her to them, she was hooked. So this is a recipe for the decaf version. I make a fully loaded version for myself using the Starbucks Via instant happiness coffee packets.

Ingredients:
1 t decaf instant coffee
3 T hot water
1 cup chocolate milk
2 T flavored creamer (I used International Delight Sweet Cream)
1 cup ice
1 T mini chocolate chips, plus a few more for garnish
Whipped cream for garnish

Mix up your coffee and hot water, add chocolate milk (or kwawk-wit milk as we call it), then creamer, ice, and 1 T of chips. Spin it up in your blender or Magic Bullet. What? I like infomercials and they like me. Top with whipped cream and remaining chips.

Warning: Drink carefully. I think I sprained my tongue when a chip chunk got caught in my straw.
