Where the kcal hide
White chocolate mocha sauce is the heaviest add-on at 43 kcal a pump, which is why a Tall White Chocolate Mocha has 265 kcal. The seasonal drinks combine a sauce with whipped cream: a Tall Pumpkin Spice Latte has 205 kcal and the Halloween Mummy Frappuccino 367. Bakery is the other trap — a Chocolate Muffin has 572 kcal, more than the Tuna Melt Panini.
