We’ve had the most amazing fall here in Colorado. The weather has been perfect — crisp mornings followed by sunny, pleasantly warm days. The leaves have changed colors and have started falling off the trees. It’s been beautiful! Today has been one of the first days that it hasn’t been sunny in quite a while. It’s been raining on and off all day, which has made it a little chilly outside. While some people love this kind of weather, it’s not for me (although I definitely take advantage of it!). All it makes me want to do is throw on my favorite sweatshirt and curl up in my fuzzy blanket with a warm latte or cup of coffee. So that’s exactly what I will do!
If you’ve been following me for a while now, you’ve probably caught on to the fact that I love coffee. It can brighten even the gloomiest of days! I usually take mine with cream and stevia, but lately I’ve been enjoying mine with International Delight coffee creamer. There are so many great flavors to choose from like Caramel Macchiato, Pumpkin Pie Spice and French Vanilla. I’ve been using them to create delicious cold drinks, but now that the weather is getting colder I’m going to be using them to create some yummy warm drinks. First on the list — a Caramel Vanilla Latte!
A Caramel Vanilla Latte is one of my favorite hot drinks. It’s a classic that you can always count on to warm you up and satisfy your sweet tooth. The combination of caramel, vanilla, milk and coffee is truly decadent! I’ve been meaning to try to make my own at home, but I’ve always been intimidated by the “latte” part of it. The other day I decided to finally try it out, and much to my surprise, it turned out delicious and was actually super easy to make!
Making your own Caramel Vanilla Latte at home is easier than you might think! You don’t need a fancy espresso or latte maker to get the same taste you’d expect from a coffee shop and it’s cheaper too. All you need is International Delight French Vanilla Coffee Creamer, coffee, milk, caramel topping and whipped cream. Follow the recipe below and in just a few minutes, you’ll have a decadent coffeehouse latte!

What a good recipe. This would save a lot of money over buying them at a local coffee shop.
