With the premium chocolate market continually growing in the United States, Starbucks Coffee Co. and The Hershey Co. have come together to form Starbucks Chocolate, made from the world’s finest cacao and inspired by Starbucks’ beverages and coffeehouse flavors.  The chocolate features natural ingredients in artistic shapes, flavors and aromas specific to Starbucks and comes in four varieties: Starbucks Signature Chocolate Bars (milk chocolate, dark chocolate, mocha dark chocolate), Starbucks Chocolate Tasting Squares (chocolate, chocolate and tea), Starbucks Milk Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans and Starbucks Chocolate Truffles (in milk chocolate caffé mocha, milk chocolate chai, dark chocolate espresso, dark chocolate vanilla bean, milk chocolate caramel macciato flavors).  
   “We are excited to extend the Starbucks Experience into the world of premium chocolates with the same passion and care as we do our specialty coffees,” said Wendy Piñero, v.p. consumer products, Starbucks.
