Need a Pick-Me-Up? This Iced Mocha Magic Recipe Is a Drink and Dessert in One

If you’re like us, sometimes you need a little treat to make it through the afternoon slump. That’s when we’re often left deciding between caffeine or sugar. But why not enjoy them both? Our Iced Mocha Magic recipe makes it easy! Simply put, mocha is a combination of coffee and chocolate. The moniker comes from a coffee bean of the same name that was known for its chocolaty flavor. In our drink, the bitter coffee is perfectly balanced by the sweet chocolate, and the result is deliciously indulgent.

Not only is our beverage just the thing to perk you up, it’s also so easy to make. Coffee, milk and chocolate syrup get added to a blender with ice—that's it! We then top it with whipped cream for an extra treat. However, if you want to imbibe a little more, go ahead and add some Bailey's Irish Cream into the mix. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think in the comments below.
