Hi Prochroma,
I had switched to the Espresso Truffle as well and was really disappointed. There is no comparison between the two drinks. Also I was also shocked to discover that although the signature hot chocolates were made with non-fat milk they had more calories than a Big Mac. Thanks for your comment.. I love venting with other Starbucks customers.

Starbucks has recently discontinued the Signature Hot Chocolate product which has virtually doomed my patronage. My drink is the Espresso Truffle (nearly exclusively), so I am saddened to see this product go. I understand their motivation behind its discontinuance. The Signature Hot Chocolate is delivered to their stores in packets which when mixed with nonfat milk, makes 1 gallon batches. The pre-mix is then stored in the barista refrigerator. This resulted in daily wastage if it wasn’t all used by closing time. What I don’t understand is why doesn’t Starbucks make it in a scoop-able or pump-able medium? This would enable the barista to make single servings and thus reduce the wastage completely. I am currently seeking Starbucks Signature Hot Chocolate on eBay and taste-alike recipes online; hoping that Starbucks does something about this.

Thanks!

[...] enterprising souls can still have their chocolate sweet, hot and salty. Savory Sweet Life has a post on this with some yummy-nummy photos. It looks good, but I’m kind of lazy, so [...]

Patrick,
When I discovered they had more calories than a big mac last year I finally realized this is why I gained so much weight… I was drinking/buying 2 a day.
