Believe the hype. Starbucks' new drink, the Chantico, not to be confused with the Aztec Goddess of hearth and home, is amazing. It really seems like drinking 6oz of overwarmed, melty chocolate bar. Or warm brownie mix.

I wouldn't call it refreshing. I would call it a dessert and a half. Avoid if you're susceptible to sugar highs.

According to the all-knowing internet, the Chantico has 390 calories, 21 grams of fat and 51 carbs in 6 ounces. Well, tis the season for winter fat, anyhow.

Oh, and according to the counter clerk, I was supposed to get a dipping cookie, too. But the barista knew of no such thing. Damn you, Starbucks Columbus Circle, for destroying my dreams! I'll have my revenge yet!
