If you like rich, oooey-gooey chocolatey desserts, this chocolate tart available from Starbucks stores at the moment hits the spot! The tart base itself is chocolate/cocoa flavored, and then there are multiple other chocolate components going on for the filling -- chocolate ganache, chocolate mousse, and then a cocoa powder topping to finish it off. The portion size is pretty generous, and because it is such a rich and indulgent-feeling dessert there's absolutely enough of it for two people, in my opinion. Based on that, I feel like the value for money aspect wasn't too bad.

This is only a limited-time offering from Starbucks, so if you find yourself really enjoying it then you've only got a short window to get your hands on it. Always a bit of a bummer when that happens, but I think they do a good job of introducing new and fun desserts throughout the year. Also, a small gripe, but I'm not the biggest fan of when cakes/tarts etc. come with a powdery topping on top, whether that's cocoa, powdered sugar, cinnamon, etc. It always just feels a bit messy to eat, but that's just me! Overall, very yummy, very chocolatey, worth trying if you're looking for that rich/indulgent feel.
