White Chocolate Mocha has been on the Starbucks menu for years now. They did come out with a Toasted White Chocolate Mocha Frappe a while back, too. I  asked one of the baristas at Starbucks about the difference and he said the latter has a toasted syrup flavor. To be honest, both my son and I couldn't tell. But I did add the fun red dusting sugar on top like they do on the toasted frappe because it gives the beverage a fun, festive look.

How To Make a Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha Frappe

Basically, it's coffee or espresso mixed with some cream or milk and, of course, the wonderful white chocolate sauce. You can make it homemade like I did in the recipe below, or buy a bottle of white chocolate mocha sauce online or in grocery stores where it's sold. Either way, you will come out with a most delicious copycat version of Starbucks' White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino.
