Reese Witherspoon Just Shared the Best 3-Ingredient Snow Day Treat

If you live in the United States, chances are you got some snow this week. Many parts of the Midwest, South, and almost the entire East Coast have been hit by snow, ice, and more snow in the past week or so. For many, it's been a week of snow days and you may be running thin on ideas to keep the kids (or yourself) occupied while stuck inside. And while we've got plenty of ideas on Allrecipes, actress and generally delightful person Reese Witherspoon just shared a snow day treat on her TikTok we can't help but want to make ASAP. Here's how to replicate Reese's frozen chococcino.

How to Make Reese Witherspoon's Snowy Chococcino

In the video, posted to TikTok yesterday, Reese and (what appears to be) one of her kids, scoop mugs full of snow from the freshly fallen powder they got where she lives. Once inside, Witherspoon adds a drizzle of salted caramel sauce and chocolate sauce. Then the two add some cold brew to complete the frozen treat. It instantly reminded us of another celebrity-loved frozen drink meets a Caramel Frappuccino meets Hawaiian shave ice.

What to call the unique sweet, though? "Snowy, salty, cappuccino?," Witherspoon offers, before deciding on the name "Snow Salt Chococinno."

Commenters had some other clever name suggestions like "Salted Snow Brew" and a "Chocolate Snapucino," but perhaps the best comment said to, "Add peanut butter and call it Reese's Winterspoon."

Now, if you scroll through the comments, one thing becomes clear: people are not happy Witherspoon used snow. Comment after comment remarks on how eating snow is unsanitary and dangerous. But is that really the case?

Is Eating Snow Safe?

Snow cream is a rite of passage for many and a beloved treat you may remember making from your childhood. But did you ever wonder how clean the snow actually was? While we have an entire article on this topic, the short answer is...kind of.

You'll want to follow a few crucial steps to avoid dirty snow, like waiting an hour or so until after the first flakes have fallen and scooping close to the surface to avoid ground contaminants. Ultimately you shouldn't eat too much, since snow is likely to have captured some pollutants on its way down. But for most people, a little bit of snow won't do much harm.

However, we do have one piece of advice for Reese. Reese if you're reading this: next time, put a bucket out to collect snow when you know a squall is coming rather than scooping it off a car or outdoor furniture. The snow will be cleaner and your chococcino will probably taste even sweeter!

If you don't have snow in your area or live in an urban area where clean snow is hard to come by, you can always make a frozen frappé using ice or even frozen coffee.
