Starbucks Discontinues ChanticoI saw a news item that said that Starbucks is pulling Chantico, a scant year since it was introduced.
It may not be completely gone:
I actually liked the stuff, but my positive review earlier this year was hardly enough to keep it on the menu. I’ve had the drink a total of three times, I don’t go to Starbucks very often (even though they are everywhere). I try to frequent the independent chains, but I would actually patronize them more if their fair trade coffee was always one of the drip coffee options.

I am devastated that Starbucks is discontinuing Chantico. I am possibly the biggest chocoholic alive (and no, I am not fat). Is there any other obtainable chocolate drink that even comes close? Thanks, Rachel
Hopefully they’ll announce the new replacement drinks soon.
In the mean time, I often have hot cooked pudding. I know, a little odd, but it fits the bill for me.
They probably discontinued because people weren’t lining up to pay a very high price for cheap chocolate syrup mixed with half-and-half. Hopefully their second try will be more inspired.
If you guys want an alternative to Chantico, find a Max Brenner Cafe and order the Italian Thick Hot Chocolate. You’ll love it.
