'Tis the Season for Red Cups


They are back and filled with treats that are better than ever. Usually at this time of year my red cups are filled with Peppermint Hot Chocolate. I think that era may have ended because tonight I tried Starbucks's new Espresso Truffle. It is like a deluxe version of my regular mocha latte. Perhaps I am in love because I forgot to say, "non-fat, no whip" like I usually do.
"We’ve combined Starbucks espresso with our premium European-style cocoa blend used in our Signature Hot Chocolate and steamed milk, and topped it with whipped cream and a touch of chocolate powder. This sophisticated beverage delivers rich chocolate flavor with a velvety mouth feel balanced with a smooth coffee flavor."

I will miss the white cups for the next few months. I always find it comforting when they return. It confirms that the holiday craziness is over and the routine of everyday life is back. I already miss The Way I See It quotes. I will just have to read the one that I keep in my kitchen to keep me inspired while the red cups are here.
