Starbucks Holiday Beverages, Food and the Quest for the 2013 Planner

Aside from CBTL to which I previously posted on how you can get your planner, Starbucks also recently launched their Limited Edition Starbucks 2013 planner in 3 colors: black, white and green. You may get your card from November 3 to January 8, 2013. One sticker is awarded per purchase of nine Christmas Beverages and 8 core beverages (except for bottled water and juices) also on the said date.

Starbucks Christmas Drinks: Toffee Nut Latte, Dark Cherry Mocha, Peppermint Mocha

There are also new food items on the Christmas Menu you can find here.

As a foodie myself, I would like to try the Decadence Cake made with Splenda. Seems awesome! :)

Press Release: New Starbucks Products

Introducing the Hojicha + Tea Jelly and Red Bean + Green Tea Frappuccino® Blended Beverage. Check it out at Starbucks.

Starbucks: Sweet Tooth Indulgence Saturday

With holidays coming, it seemed like the diet contest I was once in to would not work anymore, primarily because there are a lot of treats available because of the season and one of the places that gives all the temptations would happen to be Starbucks. 


I happen to be at the CCP Complex Grounds to watch my dad and brother complete the Don Henricos Fun Run... then afterwards, it was off to Starbucks inside Harbor Square.

Starbucks counter - No queue yet that time. 

When my dad asked me what I wanted, I chose the Molten Chocolate Cake (P 120) out of my curiosity. Starbucks describe the Molten Chocolate Cake as a moist chocolate sponge cake and filled with dark chocolate and caramel truffle. Served wickedly warm, topped with whipped cream and drizzled with Starbucks caramel sauce.

(Too bad the whipped cream fall off before I had a chance to take a photo, looks too good to be eaten) It was very rich and creamy, enough to make me forget my stresses. :)

My father ordered another cheesecake, I don't know but I guess it was for the sake of tasting it. It was a Triple Decker Cheesecake with Snickers. It was a 3 layer cheesecake  loaded with chunks of Snickers candy bar in a chocolate cookie crust topped with a chocolate fudge icing and topped with roasted chopped peanuts. It was something I went gaga with. 

I enjoyed the simple sinful snack by drowning it with a grande Toffee Nut frappe. :) I think we almost finished the Christmas part of the 2012 Planner Card.
