I never thought I would have a Starbucks addiction but this just might be it.  I am not much of a coffee person, unless there is some chocolate and sugar of some sort in it.  One thing about this drink is that it melds chocolate and coffee together, but you need to make sure that it is made correctly.  For the tall and grande, there is only supposed to be one pump of the syrup.  Some baristas get a little happy with the syrup and end up making it too chocolatey (yes that is possible).  When you have it made, I would ask how much syrup they are putting in.  The chips are great and add a unique flavor which I have not found in competitor's drinks.  Some places make it with syrup on top or "drizzle".  I always order it without drizzle because I do not like the taste of the syrup on it's own.  Even though it's a bit pricey, I drink at least a few of these a week.  Try it the next time you are at Starbucks and you just might get hooked!
