Double Chocolate Hot Cocoa Tested Versus 7 Ounce Seasonal Delight...Surprising Starbucks Winner! We recently embarked on a quest to compare the beloved Starbucks Hot Cocoa, Double Chocolate, with its upscale 7-ounce seasonal counterpart. Both boast rich, chocolatey promise, but only one truly delivers. While the seasonal version undeniably impresses with its sheer size, ours ultimately favored the Double Chocolate for its precise balance of creaminess and cocoa intensity. The 7-ounce offering, though generous, felt a touch overwhelming, as if the chocolate flavor fought for dominance. Ours, by contrast, struck a harmonious chord between indulgence and restraint. What truly set the Double Chocolate apart was its velvety texture and the way the double chocolate infusion lingered—subtle yet satisfying. If depth and decadence matter most, we’re crowning the 7-ounce Starbucks Hot Cocoa, Double Chocolate, as our pick for the unexpected winner.
