    I'm back to share another Starbucks copycat you can easily make at home. This time I'm using my Starbucks barista knowledge to share the much requested caramel macchiato.

    Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Copycat

    For this recipe, I tried to make it so you can use the things you already have in your pantry. Instead of using store-bought vanilla syrup, I'm using vanilla extract and sugar.

    I'm all for using homemade caramel sauce, but if you don't want to commit to making that you can use your favorite store bought caramel sauce.

    What's the difference between a Starbucks macchiato and a traditional macchiato?

    A traditional macchiato is made of espresso topped with milk foam. A Starbucks macchiato is made of vanilla flavored and sweetened hot milk topped with espresso, milk foam and caramel drizzle.

    What are the ingredients in this copycat starbucks caramel macchiato?

    • Vanilla Extract
    • Your Choice of sugar
    • Your choice of milk
    • Espresso coffee
    • Caramel Sauce

    My name is Cari and I'm the person behind FatgirlHedonist.com. I'm born and raised in Miami (Hialeah if you'd like specifics) and proud Latina. I'm a single mom to a very curious toddler. I completed a culinary program in high school that made my love of food blossom, but my career went in a very different direction. No matter what turns my life has taken, cooking, baking and eating have always been three of my favorite activities. I'm lucky enough that I can have this blog as an outlet for those three passions.
