Every once in a while I get a chocolate jones, and head down to Starbucks for a liquid candy bar called Chantico. It's a high-cal, high-fat chocolate drink that's only available in a 6 ounce size.
Today was one of those days, but when I got down there, the barista said: "they're off the menu." "What? Just at your store, or globally?" "Everywhere."
Granted, some people didn't like it. "Chocolate lard in a cup," I'd heard it called. And I'd always detected a slight reluctance of the baristas to make one. But it was nice to get once in a while when my theobromine levels were low.
So now I have to find an alternative. There's a recipe here which looks promising, but then I'd have to make it myself. Supposedly they'll come out with some new chocolate drinks in February. Will have to stock up on Nibby Bars to tie me over.
