Woah, the new Starbucks hot chocolate is every bit as good as it says it is. Each sip feels go damned decadent it's good.
You see those fake-looking peaks of whipped cream?
Well, they really look like that. They don't use the regular strawberry face whipped cream even. It's some special one that comes out really firm and cold. I kinda like it.
But the star really is the hot chocolate. I realise I've used the word really three times now, but I really don't care.
Each sip of the chocolatey brew deserves its own moment. I guess that's how I ended up taking about three-quarters of an hour to get through a cup of chocolate.
The thing that really hits you about each sip is how incredibly (which, really, is just really-really) gao(3) the drink is. It's like half and half of a melted chocolate bar and cream. And, and, if you close your eyes while drinking this, I swear you'll see Charlie of Charlie and the chocolate factory fame.
There was this scene in the book (I never saw the film) where he dips his mug into the chocolate river and describes how the warmth spread to every end of his body. Now we can all be Charlie.
Hurrah!
and Hurray for Starbucks for bringing a piece of heaven into my tummy today.
p.s. it goes really well with a book and an afternoon with nothing else to do
