Starbucks may be famous for coffee, but they also offer cold drinks, pastries, sandwiches, Mexican salads, and graham crackers. Today I decided to try the Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams. The grahams come in milk or dark chocolate. Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams are available at the cash register at Starbucks. I was pleasantly surprised. They were very rich and creamy, if not a little pricey.
Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams: Price
My two ounce (54 gram) package of two graham crackers costs $1.70. Considering how small the Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams are, it was a bit pricey. It makes more sense to spend $4 on a big box of graham crackers at the supermarket. Still, for a once in awhile treat, it could have been worse.
Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams: Ingredients and Nutritional Information
According to the label, Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams are manufactured for the Starbucks Coffee Company on Utah Avenue South, Seattle, Washington. I imagine they are shipped in from Seattle every week.
Each square-shaped graham is covered in a thick coating of milk chocolate. The ingredients are the usual refined sugar, cocoa, butter, milk, chocolate mass, soy lecithin, enriched flour, high fructose corn syrup and artificial flavors. Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams also use high oleic canola oil, probably to keep them from being too fatty.
I like the fact that Starbucks is making a point to provide nutritional information on all their food items. Each cracker has 140 calories, 7 grams of fat, and 14 grams of sugar. Multiply that by two and you have the information for one package at Starbucks. One package of Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams still has about half the calories and fat compared to their pastries which run about 450-500 calories.
For the health conscious eater, Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams are probably not the healthiest choice. However, the portions are so small that it wouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams: Taste and Quality
I was pleasantly surprised by the taste! The chocolate coating was thick, rich, and creamy. The graham cracker inside was crispy, not stale like many supermarket crackers. I enjoyed every bite of the Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams and chewed slowly to savor the full flavor.
One thing to watch out for is the texture. Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered grahams are very crumbly. I had to chew very carefully to prevent crumbs from spilling everywhere.
Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams: Best way to enjoy
The package recommends that you enjoy the crackers with a cup of their Caffe Verona Coffee. I’m not a big coffee drinker, so I just have the snack along with my bottle of water. Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Grahams would also taste great with a glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa. It’s a great snack for an afternoon of studying, working on the laptop, or a coffee date.
