Starbucks Chocolates-For the Serious Coffee and Chocolate Lover!
Written by Elizabeth on July 24, 2008 – 9:24 pm -The email asked if I would like to try the new line of Chocolate from Starbucks. Sure, I replied, I love chocolate. And then THIS arrived in the mail!
I got tasting squares, truffles, chocolate covered coffee beans, and three large solid bars, all of which were eaten pretty quickly despite their strong flavor.
Each of those stacks of tasting squares had five squares, in Milk, Dark, Mocha Dark, Chai Milk, Passion Dark, and Citron Dark Chocolate. Now, when they say Mocha Dark, they don’t just mean coffee flavored. They mean that the square of chocolate has powdered espresso in it. Same with the Chai Milk, it contains bits of Chai leaves, the Passion Dark is bits of PassionFruit, and the Citron has citrus peel. It’s definitely unique tasting.
The truffles come in four flavors-Dark Chocolate Espresso, Milk Chocolate Cafe Mocha, Milk Chocolate Chai, and Dark Chocolate Vanilla Bean. The graininess of the crushed espresso beans and the chai leaves was too much for us, but the Dark Chocolate Vanilla Bean-SWOON. Even with the slight grittiness of the vanilla beans, this one was one that I would buy again.
The Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate solid bars were definitely the favorites of my kids as they contain no crushed coffee or tea. I kept the Mocha Dark Chocolate bar for myself and nibbled at it over a few days’ time. It was a decadent treat to have this much chocolate in the house, and I can definitely recommend you pick up a piece (or two!) the next time you are at Starbucks.

I have tried for several weeks to find out if/who won the capessa review giveaway you had a week or two back. I always like to hear who wins. Thanks,

I love chocolates like anything indeed! If you love coffee, then I am sure that this selection of delicious coffee flavored chocolate is just what you’ve been waiting for! I actually consider myself a connoisseur of many things: microbrews, pipe tobacco, foreign films, and rcently I have been gravitating towards these Yummy chocolates.

I’ve seen those at the Starbucks too, and initially I thought they’d be waaaay out of my price league (like the coffee i don’t need) but honestly, they weren’t that out of the question… Yum.
