Having just had my 2nd child, still recovering from that and tired all the time pretty much everything is better than sex at the mo Grin

I was a bit disappointed with it. Sorry! I'll stick with my hazelnut hot chocolate

CherriesAndOtherStuff · 17/11/2014 17:46

RobinSparkles you're supposed to get chocolate whipped cream I think. Both times I had it it came with chocolate cream on. I bet they'd ran out.

YANBU

Having my third one on wed.

Gutted Costa aren't doing their Honeycomb Hot Chocolate this year.

SinglePringle · 17/11/2014 17:52

FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR CALORIES?!? Shock.

For a drink?! That's a third of my daily intake. Flippin' heck.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 17/11/2014 17:55

OMG, that sound amazing. There is a Starbucks five minutes from my work, I know where I'm going tomorrow lunchtime Grin

squoosh · 17/11/2014 17:55

I love a bit of hot chocolate porn.

Sallystyle · 17/11/2014 18:16

Well, I preferred it when I didn't know how many calories it was.

Sallystyle · 17/11/2014 18:22

But just look at it!

I had one on the back of this thread the other day and it was orrible Sad I really wanted it to taste like toblerone but it was just sweet and sickly. I didn't have the cream thoug - maybe that would have cut through it a bit.

BearPear · 17/11/2014 18:33

Try a Black Forest hot chocolate from Costa, with cream - you can thank me later!

SinglePringle · 17/11/2014 19:31

Nah, see - I I really don't fancy that. Too sweet, too chocolatey, too sickly. Give me a double espresso any day.

corlan · 17/11/2014 19:46

There is nothing that Starbucks do that is better than Costa

Tax avoidance?

CherriesAndOtherStuff · 17/11/2014 20:50

I'm not really a fan of Costa. I have tried a couple of their Christmas drinks, I think I've tried the gingerbread and cream latte and the sticky toffee latte and wasn't impressed. I also hate those stupid tall glasses.

ScrambledEggAndToast · 27/11/2014 07:06

Hmm, OP can I have a word please? After your post I duly went and bought one of these and was distinctly underwhelmed, back to Costa for me. GrinGrin

SmileAndNod · 27/11/2014 07:15

Had both on Friday. One was definitely better than the other and it wasn't the hot chocolateGrin

Am liking the Costa drinks this year, but not in those stupid latte glasses. Can't recommend Caffe Nero at all. Now that was disappointing...

dexter73 · 27/11/2014 07:30

Is it very sweet?

As it has the equivalent of 15 teaspoons of sugar in then I guess it must be very sweet!

Mehitabel6 · 27/11/2014 07:36

Luckily, since it has all those calories, it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

hippoesque · 27/11/2014 09:10

I wanted it to be lovely but it just tastes of powdery marzipan Sad
