Calories in Starbucks Classic Hot Chocolate with whole milk start at 182 in a Short and climb to 439 in a Venti, making this one of the richer non-coffee options on the whole menu.
A Grande comes to 353 calories with sugar at 33.7g, fat at 17.4g and protein at 12.4g — the protein number stands out here, higher than most espresso drinks, since this is essentially steamed whole milk with mocha sauce rather than a thin espresso pour.
