Good news, Starbucks lovers: If you weren't able to make it out to the any of the chain's U.K. stores last month to try out their Molten Hot Chocolate and Frappuccino drinks, there's no need for you to stress. You can now buy Molten Chocolate Lattes in stateside grocery stores.
Though the label reads that it's a limited-edition drink, a representative for Starbucks said it will be available year-round at grocery stores everywhere for about $2.79 apiece.

Ok friends — stop swiping right on Tinder or tell your S/O to get lost for a bit, because your 2018 Valentine just stepped into the game in the shape of Starbucks and their Molten Hot Chocolate and Frappuccino range.
The sweet treats, introduced last year, were so popular that Starbucks has brought them back for 2018, just in time for Valentine's Day. Molten Chocolate drinks are available in U.K. Starbucks now, and as a Ready-To-Drink Iced Latte at grocery stores in the U.S.
YUM.
There are three different drinks in the in-store range, and Starbucks describes them as follows:
Molten Chocolate Latte: Chocolatey chips are melted into espresso, then topped with steamed milk combined with bittersweet mocha sauce. This latte is finished with mocha and espresso-infused whipped cream and an espresso mocha drizzle. It's available hot and iced.
Molten Chocolate Frappuccino: Coffee with rich mocha sauce and chocolatey chips blended with milk and ice. This beverage is finished with mocha and espresso-infused whipped cream and an espresso mocha drizzle.
Molten Hot Chocolate: Bittersweet mocha sauce and chocolatey chips melted into steamed milk for a smooth and creamy taste. Mocha and espresso-infused whipped cream and espresso mocha drizzle tops off the beverage.
Yep, who needs a boyfriend/girlfriend/other half when you have Starbucks? NOT US.
The only news that would be better than this is if Starbucks decide to run the same buy-one-get-one-free offer on Valentine's Day that we took HUGE advantage of last year. One for lunch, one for pudding. No judgement please.
