    Do you know what kind of milk it's made with?

    Big brands usually have info online, so you could look up starbucks nutritional info for it. Or BK or mcdonalds for burgers.

    You have to know the size of course, and do they throw in the free chocolate with the cup?

    On MFP a
    Costa - Hot Chocolate Medium is

    Servings:

    Calories 327 Sodium 0 mg
    Total Fat 15 g Potassium 0 mg
    Saturated 9 g Total Carbs 35 g
    Polyunsaturated 0 g Dietary Fiber 0 g
    Monounsaturated 0 g Sugars 33 g
    Trans 0 g Protein 13 g
    Cholesterol 0 mg

    But I don't know if they make it the same way as Butlers do - with a ladle of melted chocolate! whole milk or skim? with extras like cream & marshmallow?

    I'm not sure of the calories (high!) but I know they make it with skim milk if you ask so that would help lower it a bit.

    You got to have it with cream though, and let's not go and deny ourselves the free chocolate either. That would be silly. :)

    A big mac is 490kcal in Ireland, same as a mcdonalds quarter pounder with cheese.

    I expect many would guess the hot chocolate would be less.
