The Liquid Denzel Experience

I am no longer a Chantico virgin. Whoever said that it's embarrassing to order one was right; I wish I'd just said "drinking chocolate" instead of "Chantico."

And whoever said it's rich is right, too. It's really, really rich. It's unbelievably rich. Maybe this will help you understand how rich: Chantico is to hot chocolate as double espresso is to Sanka. Yes, it was yummy, and yes, I sipped the whole thing happily, but I don't think I'll ever get it again. And here's why: If I'm going to ingest this kind of decadent treat:

I'd prefer to be chewing something. Give me a brownie or a truffle or a flourless chocolate torte any day. (But hey, look at all that protein and calcium and iron!)

I agree... I would rather eat a truffle.

I had one last week, too! I did order the "drinking chocolate"...the barrista described it as liquid pudding. Thanks for the nutritional breakdown. I may get it again, but will think twice given the calories!
