I don&#8217;t know if it was from racking my head or the brain freeze, but the pain I had prevented my memories from recalling it. So I thought it must&#8217;ve been a long time ago. But, thankfully, I know of a site that reviews McDonald&#8217;s food (this one), and I learned that I might have the brain of a goldfish because the last new Frappe was<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2024\/11\/01\/mcdonalds-dulce-de-leche-frappe-review\/\">Dulce de Leche<\/a>, and it came out a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>But why do new Frappe drinks happen only once a year? I could use more limited time only Frappe drinks. Is it an annual notification to remind us that McDonald&#8217;s still makes the icy, sugary coffee drink? Some of you might be asking why not a Chips Ahoy McFlurry? Well, the site I know that reviews McDonald&#8217;s food (again, this one), tells me there was<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2020\/09\/23\/mcdonalds-chips-ahoy-mcflurry-review\/\">one back in 2020 that came with caramel for some reason<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mcdchahoyfrappe2.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"McDonald&#039;s Chips Ahoy Frappe look at those cookie crumble.

Yes, it&#8217;s as sweet as it looks.<\/p>\n<p>The Frappe base with the chocolate chip cookie syrup doesn&#8217;t remind me of Chips Ahoy cookies, but it has a flavor that&#8217;s kind of like the Coffee mate Nestle Toll House cookie creamer in stores now, but with a stronger chocolate taste. It&#8217;s almost like a chocolate milkshake with a hint of something something that makes it slightly different. I do wish the syrup had a brown butter flavor to make the cookie-ness stand out more. You have to mix the toppings into the drink so the Chips Ahoy crumbles float in the Frappe base. Oh, and the syrup negates any coffee taste.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mcdchahoyfrappe3.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"McDonald&#039;s Chips Ahoy Frappe - However, instead of snorting them, I mixed them into the rest of the drink\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-73372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mcdchahoyfrappe3.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mcdchahoyfrappe3.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mcdchahoyfrappe3.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mcdchahoyfrappe3.jpeg?resize=1152%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1152w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/mcdchahoyfrappe3.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When the cookie pieces get mixed in with the ice, there are two contrasting textures: the slightly soggy crumbs and the crunchy ice. When my mouth got one of those crumbs with the Chips Ahoy chocolate chips, they brought a chocolatey burst that&#8217;s recognizable as Chips Ahoy and different from what&#8217;s in the Frappe base. However, the combination of soggy and crunchy textures was a little odd to chew on. The best-tasting, texture-pleasing sips I had were the final ones at the bottom of the cup, with a whole lot of cookie crumbs and mostly melted ice, all of which had a stronger chocolate flavor than when I first started slurping.<\/p>\n<p>McDonald&#8217;s Chips Ahoy Frappe is a caffeinated dessert that I enjoyed. However, the contrasting textures were odd, and I wish the base had a stronger cookie flavor.
