We pitted Starbucks, Dunkin's, Panera, and McDonald's against each other in the ultimate hot chocolate showdown.
The look:wins the award for most unnecessary extras. It is made with a mixture of"bittersweet" chocolate syrup, reduced-fat milk, whipped cream, and a caramel drizzle. The caramel syrup, while probably pretty in the restaurant, had melted along with the whipped cream into a syrupy, milky mess. It did, however, have an inviting color and was dark and chocolatey.Panera's taste ranked at the bottom of this list.
With 53 grams of sugar and a total of 73 grams of carbs, and a whopping 470 calories—the most in this taste test—this drink is like a meal replacement with a heavy dose of the sweet stuff. Panera should have a super small version of this or just leave out the caramel to smooth out the flavor and lower the calories.The look:is made with steamed whole milk,"rich hot chocolate syrup," whipped light cream, and a chocolate drizzle.
