It looks a lot like the Hot Chocolate they serve in Spain. That stuff is amazing ~ it's like drinking chocolate mousse

And yep...the new chocolate drink comes out tomorrow...http://www.starbucks.com/retail/chanticolanding.asp

Liquid chocolate!

Ok...tried it yesterday! It ROCKS! (Only if you seriously love chocolate will you love this drink!)

Kat and I had a free sample yesterday...it's like drinking a melted Hershey bar...no..make that a melted Godiva bar...It's not too too sweet..kinda has a "homemade" hot chocolate taste to it...They serve it in a small espresso cup...and you must sip it! But it was goooouuuuuddd!

And they make great chocolate moustaches!

Well I dont know where I was all last year, but my barista informed me this morning, as I mourned the loss of my peppermint mocha...
that they always have peppermint syrup, and they even still have the sprinkles!

Now.. why didnt I know this last year after the holiday season?!?!?!?

I tried the pumpkin, and the ginerbread.. you can keep em.

Me? Peppermint moch.. or pepp mocha frap
Mocha frap w/ hazlenut....
hmm.. or Black tea lemonade, four valencia, two raspberry.

Well, I tried the Chantico this morning....and.....well.....how do I put it....it reminded me of that last quarter inch of sludge in the bottom of a mocha cup. It didn't taste bad at all....it's just too thick and sweet for me, with that slightly grainyish chocolatey feeling afterward. I like chocolate as much as the next gal, but I have a low sweets limit.

It's definitely for sipping. I had a hard time getting all the way through it (I had to chase each sip with a Sumatra chaser!). I think my daughters will really like it though. I'm going to bring Chloe in for a sample after preschool.

I could see sipping it, and dipping strawberries in it late at night after a movie or something, but unfortunately, my neighbor Starbucks all close at 8!

I tried it too yesterday. Mine handed out the rolled dipping cookie with it and that was good. It definitely needs something else to go with it-cookies, vanilla ice cream.
