I only just heard a blurb about it a few days ago, so I guess it is a relatively new product. Well, I have been holding onto a $10 Starbucks gift card since Christmas (the only non coffee drinker in the office gets this gem in the Hiliday grab bag). Guess I can use it now.

ha ha. I found this article..is this what you heard? Starbucks Chocolate  Well, now. I just don’t quite know what to think about this. Starbucks is stepping into the world of chocolate delivering tea and coffee flavored chocolates with the aid of (drum roll please)…. Hershey! Yeah, I’m being intentionally misleading. I can’t see Starbucks using anything as pedestrian as normal everyday Hershey chocolate (or Special Dark). Instead they are using an unspecified chocolate from the Hershey Artisan Confections collection of companies. And it appears to be one that is associated with bean-to-bar chocolate making. By my interpretation that would make it Sharffen Berger. Dagoba would also be possible, but if they were going organic I’m sure they would trumpet it. I’d guess they want quality without the additional cost that organic chocolate generally carries.The flavors sound like they’ll be interesting. From the press release: The collection includes: signature dark, mocha and milk chocolate bars and tasting squares; Tazo® Chai, Passion and Citron tea-infused chocolate tasting squares; Caffè Mocha, Chai, Espresso, Caramel Macchiato and Madagascar Vanilla Bean Truffles; and Milk Chocolate Covered Caffè Verona® Coffee Beans.The most interesting thing about their whole foray into the world of chocolate is the fact that it will be available in grocery stores, drug stores, and the like, but it will not be available in Starbucks stores. I would be forced to wonder if this is because they’re using Hershey’s distribution channel and Starbucks stores aren’t a part of it. Whatever the reason, they’re supposed to be in stores now. I’m curious to try some of what they are offering. I’m enjoying the whole tea and chocolate combination lately and I’ve always liked a little coffee with my chocolate so it should all be worth a taste. There is a link to the press release below and there is some neat stuff on it with product pictures and videos of chocolate tastings so check it out. Press Release

I saw the commercial on TV, actually. So it wasn't nearly as long as your article! When I heard Starbuck's and chocolate I looked over at the TV and saw what looked like a truffle. I looooooooooove a good truffle......*sigh* I'll try the mocha and the dark flavors, and anything in a truffle-looking yummy. As long as there is no fruit taste in it, I'll try it! Can't wait to hit the grocery store tomorrow.....

I'm going to be going here in a little while myself. If I find it at the store where I'm headed, I'll come back and report ;)

I bought some at the store yesterday. To be honest, it was pretty good, but not the best I have had. Reminded me a bit of Dove chocolate.

I got a milk chocolate bar. They also had dark chocolate, and a few other things. They had chocolate covered whole coffee beans also. It cost $2.39 for a bar, which was about 4x5 or so. It was OK, and I would probably get it again if there was a sale or something.

I think that's the same price Sis said it was at Meijer. I believe it was a 3 oz. bar? Sis didn't get any since she's in training for the walk in September. Didn't even get any for me, either. The bitch.

No chocolate for the poor loving sister? How rude. Well, if I had any left I'd send you a piece. You were accurate on the weight of the bar.
