Calories in Starbucks Signature Hot Chocolate with whole milk run from 213 in a Short to 499 in a Venti. Whole milk makes this the richest version of Starbucks’ classic hot cocoa, built on mocha sauce and steamed milk.
A Grande has 403 calories with 20.5g of fat and 35.5g of sugar, notably higher than the lactose-free version’s 350 calories at the same size, since whole milk adds substantial fat on top of the chocolate base.
If you want the creamiest, most indulgent hot chocolate on the menu, whole milk is the classic choice, especially compared to the lighter Pumpkin Spice Latte during the fall season.
