their link isn’t working! though i can tell you just from the word “shakes” on their VIA homepage, that via + ice cream + blender is something i can get behind.
Just at first glance the coffee frosting for cupcakes looks divine: http://jamieofalltrades.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/09/coffee-frosting-with-starbucks-via.html! Although, ever since this product came out I’ve wanted to put a few packets in my deep dish brownies. You can’t miss with chocolate AND coffee.
Great give-a-way, again, Siiri!
told you: MOCHA MALTED MILKSHAKE
I like the idea of the Jo-Via-l Kisses. It looks like a new take on the cookie I know as Russian Teacakes. While Russian Teacakes are a great cookie and simple to taste, this coffee addition to update them sounds very refreshing while you get your coffee fix. I think I may actually attempt to make them with my children.
I like this updated version of the Russian Teacake. Easy to make and easy to store. Well easy to store if you don’t have five kids and a husband to hide them from.

OK so i think my actual favorite would be the Mocha pumpkin brownies but i am also intrigues by the via con dios horchata – however i am wary here because i LOVE horchata just as it is, and I’m not sure coffee would improve it, its hard to improve on perfection! and here’s the general recipe page linkhttp://www.starbucks.com/via/occasion/recipes/ but neither of the two i picked link to their own pages…..
Yeah, I have to go with Hester on this one and say Mocha Malted Milkshake. YUMMO
i love creme brulee and coffee-flavored-creme-brulee sounds even better! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sporkist/3968249628/
I’m planning CMobes’ birthday and the Coffee Toffee Party Mix looks pretty darn good!
Mmmmmm, the Coffee Creme Brulee!

How cute would that be in an oven proof demitasse with a demitasse spoon?!
