For the fall season, Starbucks Japan is launching an all-new Frappuccino beverage flavor that is best enjoyed with sweet dipping sticks.
The 'Golden Maple Frappuccino with Candy Walnut' itself is made with a blend of sweet ingredients like maple syrup honey, butter and walnut paste. The autumnal beverage is served with a topping of whipped cream, as well as walnut sugar and walnut pieces. In order to enhance the enjoyment of this richly textured drink, Starbucks is also launching limited-edition 'Choux Sticks,' which are made from a sweet dough base mixed with crushed cocoa nibs.
Together, the decadent Frappuccino and companion dipping sticks turn what would ordinarily be a pleasing fall beverage into an entire dessert experience.
