Dark chocolate sauce has less sugar.

In a saucepan, add sugar and water.

Over low heat, let the sugar dissolve.

Once dissolved, turn up the heat and let it bubble until it reaches a golden brown caramel color.

When the caramel reaches an amber color, add in cream and whisk immediately.

Add in butter and continue whisking until smooth.

Let the caramel simmer for a few more seconds, then turn off the heat and set aside to cool.

In a bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.

Add cold brew coffee granules, caramel sauce, and melted cooled white chocolate to the whipped cream.

Continue whipping until the mixture is stiff.

In a blender, add cold brew coffee, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, caramel sauce, and ice.

Blend until smooth.

Pipe cold brew whipped cream into the bottom of a cup, followed by a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Pour in the frappuccino mix until the cup is almost full.

Top with more whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
