Peppermint Mocha Coffee Mate

Ok, I've fallen in love with a product I can't find. A friend at work brought this stuff in, having received it as a gift from her cousin who lives out of state. She said I had to try it. I did NOT expect to like it, it doesn't sound like it would go well with coffee to me, but I LOVE it! BIG time!!!!! So, I start looking for it and it is not carried here - anywhere NEAR here (seriously, I searched up to 100 miles from my zip code). Do any of you have access to it and would you consider getting it for me and shipping it to me and I will happily send you a check in advance for more than it will cost? I've been told that it freezes very well, so it should keep indefinitely. And, yes, this counts as indulgence! Call it my birthday present to myself!

Was this a special Holiday flavor? Sometimes they only carry those for a limited time. I will keep my eye out though

Do you mean the refrigerated kind? We have it in all of our grocery stores here and I'd be happy to send you some, but I'm not sure how to keep it cold?

They *might* make it in powder form, I can't remember.

If you can't find it, there is a recipe on the Hill Billy Housewife website for Mint Truffle Mocha (I think is the name of it) and its decedantly delicious!!!!!

Odilia had a recipe for it somewhere on the forums.Where has she been?

Yes it is "seasonal", and yes it is the refrigerated kind. I think if it were very cold or frozen and packed in styrofoam it would stay cold well (my sister sends me things that way, and they actually stay frozen). Peanuts might not insulate as well as sheet styrofoam, but I think it would still work ok.

I've not seen it at any of my stores in a few weeks!!

I'll be at walmart tomorrow and I'll look to see if there is any left. I'll let you know! (If I find some, how many would you be interested in?)

Oh Edna, I had this problem too! But there's too much sugar in it for me and they only made it at Christmas and its only avail in the US - booo!! I think they should make it avail all year round and attempt to make a sugar free version. They make other flavours like that so why not??

An alternative, you can try to ask your local coffee shop (like a Starbucks or fancier coffee chain) if they will sell a bottle of the peppermint flavour 'shot' and the mocha as well. Those come in sugar free here.

Make your own Peppermint Mocha: take your coffee, shot and shot plus a lil cream = almost the same. Hehe too bad you dont live near me, I'd come over for some coffee
