After loving their holiday special - Skinny Peppermint Mocha - I just had to try the Skinny Mocha. However, I feel the chocolate flavour is not as strong as I would like, definitely not sweet enough. Nonetheless, a nice, steamy cup of espresso (even if it is with nonfat milk and no whip) is a nice layover beverage. At least O'Hare International has Starbucks unlike Philly's airport.

While waiting for my connection at O'Hare International, I was not interested in the food court at Concourse C. Starbucks though? That I was definitely up for. A hot Skinny Peppermint Mocha and Rocky Road Cake Pop was just about perfect. I love their holiday specials. I also have a soft spot for cake pops and I've tried their Tiramisu, Birthday, and Peppermint Brownie but have never tasted the Rocky Road one. Turns out it was just as delicious, even though I'm not a huge fan of nuts with chocolate. It was still delicious! A nice little snack. Now onto their Raspberry Truffle. And good thing I tried the Rocky Road before they stopped making them!
