\"Starbucks<\/a><\/p>\n

As dawn breaks over the picturesque landscape, a farmer, with cup in hand, approaches the docile, grazing Teddy Graham that he has been raising since it was a wee cub. The Graham eyes him indifferently as he fills his cup with milk from the giant, bear-shaped cracker. He pats it on the back lovingly and carries the cup towards a counter in the distance.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne Toasted Graham Latte for Dan?\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s is how I like to imagine the folks at Starbucks make their new Toasted Graham Latte, and if I hadn\u2019t seen them mixing it together with my own eyes, I would have believed it, too. <\/p>\n

This latest concoction from the \u2018Bucks blends graham, steamed milk, cream, and espresso with a topping of cinnamon graham crumbles. It\u2019s available in both hot and iced forms, but I chose the former, since the oxymoronic idea of having a drink be \u201ciced and toasted\u201d makes my brain freeze and fry.<\/p>\n

\"Starbucks<\/a><\/p>\n

Prying away the lid of my cup, I marvel at the InstaGraham worthy cinnamon and graham cracker dust that looks like it was gently scattered by some hypocritical, tooth-rotting Tooth Fairy. <\/p>\n

After sipping this top layer, I suddenly realize why the Toasted Graham Latte was released so close to Halloween time: it\u2019s just like that infamously NSFW hot tub face-melting scene<\/a> from Halloween 2<\/i>, but with Michael Meyers murdering a Cinnamon Teddy Graham in a steamed milk Jacuzzi instead. <\/p>\n

The faint spice of cinnamon and the earthier, honey graham sweetness of the crispy crumbles pleasantly balance the hyper sugary vanilla onslaught of the whipped cream.<\/p>\n

But once the crumbs are all slurped up, things get a little\u2026crummier. Without the complexity of the graham pieces to counteract the cream, the middle third of my TGL simply became an uncomfortable, cloying mess of melted cream and milk.<\/p>\n

\"Starbucks<\/a><\/p>\n

After begrudgingly sucking this part down, I realized there was hope in the final third of the drink. Like a caffeinated Atlantis, all the espresso and graham syrup flavor had sunk down into the bottom. After many milliliters of hardship, my submarine tongue was happy to discover it.<\/p>\n

When making my drink, the Starbucks barista excitedly exclaimed how it \u201csmelled just like a s\u2019more!\u201d I half expected her to verbally add a *heart eyes emoji* to the end of her sentence.<\/p>\n

But now I see that she was right. The bitter darkness of the espresso imparts woodsy notes on the sticky, leftover cream, making it quite like a toasted marshmallow.<\/p>\n

This, along with the artificial and rich graham syrup, left me with a tasty, liquid s\u2019more facsimile, albeit one where someone swapped the Hershey\u2019s chocolate with coffee beans (I don\u2019t care what kind of pranks they pulled in the \u201820s, Grandpa: it\u2019s not funny!)<\/i><\/p>\n

So like the Earth, a well made taco salad, and Shrek, the new Toasted Graham Latte from Starbucks has layers. From the blended cinnamon and sugar top, to the disturbing primordial soup in the middle, all the way to the liquefied campfire classic on the bottom, your enjoyment of this drink will likely hinge on how deep into it you\u2019re willing to go.<\/p>\n

Since exactly two-thirds of the latte is good, I should technically give it an infinitely repeating 6.66 out of 10. But since I\u2019m an Internet food reviewer and not a mathematician, I guess I\u2019ll have to round up.<\/p>\n

Now if you\u2019ll excuse me, I think I have a box of Teddy Grahams that need a good melting. *bear emoji* *fire emoji* *skull emoji*<\/p>\n
