Starting Monday, Starbucks will offer three new chocolate drinks at U.S. and Canadian stores through Valentine’s Day.

Here’s how the coffee chain described the beverages in a statement:

Molten Chocolate Latte: Chocolaty chips are melted into espresso, then topped with steamed milk combined with bittersweet mocha sauce. This latte is finished with mocha and espresso-infused whipped cream and an espresso mocha drizzle. It’s available hot and iced.

Molten Chocolate Frappuccino® Blended Beverage: Coffee with rich mocha sauce and chocolaty chips blended with milk and ice. This beverage is finished with mocha and espresso-infused whipped cream and an espresso mocha drizzle.

Molten Hot Chocolate: Bittersweet mocha sauce and chocolaty chips melted into steamed milk for a smooth and creamy taste. Mocha and espresso-infused whipped cream and espresso mocha drizzle tops off the beverage.

The marketing is less gimmicky than the Valentine’s Day specials that have already been announced by chain restaurants, from the dinner reservations systems at White Castle and Waffle House to Dairy Queen’s “first-ever” blizzard “dedicated to singles,” billed as a “proud rally cry for those celebrating themselves on Valentine’s Day.”
