Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownie
I just ate a Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownie at the Starbucks in Corona del Mar. It was really fresh and I couldn’t stop myself from eating the entire thing in about four bites. Starbucks and whoever makes their food outdid themselves on this desert item. The flavor of the chocolate is sweet and fudgey and a little bit cakey at the same time. This is a brownie worth celebrating. It isn’t quite as moist as the Chocolate Overload Cake from Jack in the Box. But it doesn’t need to be that moist because it isn’t a cake. It is a brownie and brownies tend to be a little bit more solid than cakes. This is true unless you are talking about Texas Sheet Cake, that kind of desert is very moist indeed. But the key thing that makes Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownie so decadent, is the divine consistency of the brownie texture. It both breaks apart in your mouth in elegant chunks, and it doesn’t crumble. But make sure that you get a fresh one of these brownies! I’ve had Double Chocolate Brownies that had been hanging out over a day or so and they were really hard and not delicious. So you might want to ask your barista nicely if they are new brownies. If they don’t know how long they’ve been there, then a safer bet might be the Cheese Danish. Those are also winners.
One thing to note with the Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownie is that the Chocolate Chunk pieces in it are slightly waxy. I am not a big fan of waxy chocolate, but they still taste good. But you can easily tell the the chunk pieces are waxier than the main part of the brownie. This was the case even in my extremely fresh Brownie that I ate today. So just know that going into it.
The Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownie has 410 calories per brownie. That is a pretty hefty amount of calories to ingest in just a couple minutes, but the taste is well worth it. And there are 24 grams of fat in the brownie. So if you are looking for health food you might want to try something else.

My brownie experience today opened my mind and now I’m feeling adventurous and I want to try even more snacks. I think the Chocolate Overload Cake from yesterday got me in a chocolate mood.
I paired the Starbucks Double Chocolate Brownie with a Venti Whole Milk Latte and it tasted great. The bitterness and milkyness of the latte balanced the sweetness of the brownie very well. I’m actually still drinking the latte right now. It is smooth and relaxing.
