First, I would be reviewing Starbucks Signature Hot Chocolate… except I haven’t bought one yet. This may well change tomorrow because one of the flavors is calling me like the Sirens calling to Jason from whatever island that was….
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate.
I love the sweet/salty combination…it just goes so well with my personality. They swirl caramel on the top of the whipped cream and then add turbinado sugar crystals and sea salt crystals. They have two other signature flavors, Signature Hot Chocolate (made low fat milk? What the heck?) and Hazelnut Signature Hot Chocolate
So, has anyone tried them yet? Are they addictive..or just fattening? 
One of the baristas said they were coming out with some new lattes on November 4..and one of them was espresso chocolate truffle…
Oh YEAH bring it on.

I have to say this is my very 1st time reading your blog. I think we are sole mates! It’s like you are reading my mind. That picture of the Salted Caramel hot chocolate at my local Starbucks drive thru is calling to this almost daily Cafe Mocha drinker as well. And that little juicy tidbit at the end about espresso chocolate truffle latte has left me marking my calender.
Thanks for the great post & great blog!
I just forwarded it to my coffee obsessed friends:)
Oh, stop, you!
Now I have to try it. I’ve only had their standard hot chocolate and that’s been more than a year ago. The salted caramel sounds weird. Maybe I’d try a free sample of it.
I tried the signature when I ought a cup for my youngest as a treat. It’s pretty good. I REALLY want to try the salted caramel, and our barista said it’s really good. But I REALLY want to try a little before I spend all that money on a big cup. I may just stick to my cinnamon dolce lattes. . . (unless they come up with something as delish as those chocolate mint frozen mochas with the chocolate whip cream on top they had this summer)
I went to look up the name of the Island…. Well, Cheryl is studying Greece. In her book it is called….are you ready for this? … The Isle of the Sirens. On Google: Sirenum Scopuli; which looks suspiciously like Isle of Sirens to me.
The caramel does sound yummy.
Wendy…welcome! I am glad you enjoy it.
Peggy…I am so going to treat myself to a big glop of it sometime this weekend
Heather- I understand..I wish they had had samples
Ginger..You know I had a hunch that was the name.
Hi Marye,
Haven’t tried it, but today I enjoyed a blended pumpkin latte from the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. It was definitely delicious!
I don’t know if you have a Trader Joe’s near you, but they have a new sweet, salty treat that I am totally addicted to… Dark Chocolate covered Mango sprinkled with Chili spices. I’m wondering if I died and went to heaven!
Have a fun night.

Marye, I tried the Hazelnut Sig Hot Choc at Starbs. Very good!
thanks pegggy..I have some hazelnut syrup..and I think I have the chocolate mixture figured out
