The drink I hate to love

Yesterday I went out to Starbucks to get coffee with a friend, and got one of their Salted Caramel Hot Chocolates.  It was pretty darn delicious.  I only drank half, though, and being me I put the other half in the fridge to save as a treat for the next morning.  Fast forward to today, this morning, when I took my hot chocolate out of the fridge and popped it in the microwave to warm it up.  When I took it out of the microwave, I was horrified- giant blobs of oily fat were lounging around on the top.  We're not talking one or two little droplets here; it looked like someone had just poured about a teaspoon of oil into my drink.  And it was the small size, and only half full.  I feebly attempted to scrape some of it off, by skimming the top with a spoon, and it kind of worked and kind of didn't work.  I'd really like to be able to say that at this point I chucked the whole thing in the trash and walked away a better person.  But I'm not a better person.  I'm weak when it comes to warm, chocolately, caramely, and yes, fatty goodness.  So I drank it. I'm  not proud.  But it was still delicious.
