The caramel coffee base and the dulce de leche syrup combined created a drink that tastes like a McDonald\u2019s Caramel Iced Coffee that\u2019s been pumped with caramel syrup with reckless abandon. Did it have a coffee flavor? You\u2019d have to ask my taste buds after they wake up from being carpet-bombed with caramel and sugar. I should mention that this was even before I mixed in the caramel pieces and whipped topping. The base has a nice texture; it is not entirely Slurpee slushy, but it is also not completely melted. There were ice crystals to satisfy my molars\u2019 desire to crush them. Yes, my dentist hates me.<\/p>\n

I also enjoyed chomping on the crunchy caramel-flavored pieces, which kind of crunched like ice crystals, so if yours ends up melting too much, the sugary pieces can still give you an ice-like texture. The candy pieces with the Frappe base gave my mouth a double drubbing of dulce de leche. Not a hint of coffee could be detected. As I quickly drank through this to make sure those ice crystals didn\u2019t completely melt, I felt my mouth coming close to the point where it would think it was too sweet. But it never crossed that line. However, I imagine some people will think this tastes too sugary.<\/p>\n
McDonald\u2019s Dulce de Leche Frappe was a delicious, nice change of pace from my usual iced coffee. I thoroughly enjoyed its sweetness and texture from beginning to end, although some of that delight was interrupted by a bout or two of brain freeze from consuming it swiftly. Because of its sweetness, it\u2019s definitely a sometimes drink, so it\u2019ll be another minute before I have another.<\/p>\n
