According to CNN/Money, Starbucks is rolling out a new beverage this weekend called “Chantico,” a thick, rich, creamy chocolate beverage steamed with cocoa butter and whole milk.
This quote from a Starbucks rep sounds way too enticing—“Imagine drinking a melted truffle….” Yeah, I can imagine that. Ohhhh, yeah. I can definitely imagine that.
So if a 6 oz. cup contains 390 calories and 20 grams of fat, that means an extra hour of DDR or an hour walking at 3 MPH. **Frustrated exhalation**
Ehhh…it wasn’t bad. I probably wouldn’t pay $2.81 for a Chantico again (that’s 47 cents an ounce), but l am always willing to try a new food or beverage product at least once (I have even tried scorpion before).
It was nice and thick, like hot cocoa from scratch, but it was a bit too sweet. I prefer my chocolate to be a bit more bitter than sweet.
They serve it piping hot, of course, otherwise such an emulsion would separate, but now the tip of my tongue feels all fuzzy.
