Starbucks Is Bringing New Drinks To The Carolinas For Valentines

Valentines day is quickly approaching, which means that many cafes are switching up their menus for the holiday. The incredibly popular Starbucks is one of those cafes.  For a limited time Starbucks is releasing two different new drinks throughout United States. Those who enjoy Valentines day treats and Starbucks are going to fall for these new Valentines treat themed drinks.

The first new drink is a beautiful pink shade that is inspired by chocolate-covered strawberries. The Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Crème Frappuccino Blended Beverage is sure to make you fall in love this Valentines day. It is a blend of ice, milk, java chips and strawberry puree, topped with a large swirl of whipped cream.

The second new drink is just as exciting and unique as the first. The Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie Cold Brew is another cold drink, so those who enjoy cold drinks all year long are going to love these two new options. This coffee is made with Starbucks Cold Brew and is sweetened using hazelnut syrup. It's then topped with a chocolate cream cold foam and even has a chocolate cookie crumble topping.

Now, if there's one thing I know how to do... that's eat! I enjoy eating and indulging. I love food and trying new foods. Whether I am going to a restaurant or just cooking it up myself, I love it. One of my favorite foods is chicken. I know, pretty basic because who doesn't enjoy chicken? In just about any form chicken can be great because it can be cooked in so many ways or mixed with so many different ingredients. It goes with just about everything!

Well, Taste of Home is naming some of the best fried chicken in every state. As soon as I saw it, I had to take a look for myself. Because when someone says "best friend chicken" you have to see what they are talking about. They took every state and did a deep dive to find the best fried chicken in each state. From Alaska and Hawaii to right here in the Carolinas. But, where do you think has the BEST fried chicken in North and South Carolina? Let's take a look at the two spots with the best fried chicken in North and South Carolina and see what it's really hitting on.
