I'm sure the Starbucks junkies referenced above have heard all about it by now, but just in case: $3 for fancy hot chocolate, anyone?
Chantico may be a fancy name for what essentially is a cocoa beverage, but Starbucks wants its patrons to think of it as something different, more like a "drinkable dessert."
...
A six-ounce cup of Chantico will vary in price between $2.65 to $2.95.Equally rich is Chantico's caloric content. A six-ounce cup of Chantico contains 390 calories, 20g of fat and 50g of carbs.
Sweet - this might give us a reason to be there twice a day - at least during the winter. Hell, they already hit us for roughly $2,500/year in chai tea lattes...
