Red turtle coffee

A wise man once said, “I like turtles.” Who could argue with that? Not I. Whether it be the living, breathing reptiles or those of the Teenage Mutant Ninja persuasion, they’re all cool with me. Perhaps my favorite turtles though are those little chocolate, pecan, and caramel cluster candies. I really like those turtles, so when I noticed Dunkin’ added a Turtle Signature Latte to the app, I acted in the complete opposite way of a turtle… ya know, fast. I ordered one quickly. The new Turtle Signature Iced Latte features mocha and butter pecan syrup swirls, espresso, and whole milk topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and crunchy cocoa caramel crumbles.

During my abstinence, I woke up to the smell of coffee every morning since my hubby continued to have his morning cup. I would walk into the living room frowning, he would call me beautiful, I would roll my eyes and he would let me know that no one told me that I had to give up coffee. Thanks Hubby. I would then try and substitute with teas, hot chocolate, and warm milk. It just was not the same. I would like to apologize to all of the people that came into contact with me during this time. I know attitudes were caught, make-up did not appear on my face, and eye rolls happened quite often. Now, I am back to normal and decided to share one of my favorite coffee recipes, turtle coffee!
