1. Pour the caramel sauce into the blender and add the milk. Blend on low speed until the caramel is thoroughly mixed and the mixture is smooth.

4. Turn off the blender and pour the caramel slushie into chilled glasses. The drink should be thick and scoopable but still pourable, with a glossy caramel finish.
5. Optional: Garnish with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a few additional ice cubes for extra chill and presentation.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy this icy, caramel-rich treat that’s perfect for hot days or anyone craving a cool, flavorful escape.
