Starbucks introduces Dulce de Leche

I stopped at my local Starbucks yesterday and found out that they have released their latest flavor of cappuccino/frappuccino/latte goodness - Dulce de Leche. I ordered the venti latte and received 5 squirts of flavoring, whipped cream, plus a sprinkled topping that reminded me of crumbled, sweetened pie crust, though I was out of the shop before I could ask them to confirm what it was.

As we showed you last week, Dulce de Leche is sweetened condensed milk that has literally been cooked in the can over low heat, producing a rich, milky, caramel toffee-like flavor. If you are so inclined you can make your own at home and save the $5 a cup, but for those who can't be bothered - the Starbucks version is absolutely delicious.

The flavor is too sweet for me. If I happen to stop into a SB for a flavored beverage, I always request "half the number of the pumps."

Because I enjoy it so much and am a frequent visitor to our local Starbucks; I wonder how many calories and carbs I'm consuming in a grande size cup? Unfortunately the Starbuck stores in our city has been out of the dulce de leche mix for about 2 weeks now. I can't wait until they get their new shipment in for the mixture thatI enjoy so much!

FYI, there's a good wikipedia entry on it. enjoy.
