Brownie, Cookie or Cake Pop
| Treat | Calories | Sugar | Protein | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chocolate Cake Pop | 150 | 16 g | 2 g | $3.95 |
| Chocolate Chip Cookie | 370 | — | 5 g | — |
| Double Chocolate Brownie | 480 | 37 g | 6 g | $4.63 |
The brownie has more calories and more sugar than the cookie line we publish, and far more than the cake pop. Protein is only 6 g, so it is not a stand-in for a sandwich. If you want chocolate after a meal and you care about the calorie line, the cake pop is the order. The full case is on the food menu.
How to Order
- Ask for the Double Chocolate Brownie.
- Pair it knowingly. A 37 g sugar dessert plus a sweet drink stacks fast, and we are not adding those drinks up here.
- Ask for a Chocolate Cake Pop when you want 150 calories instead.
- It is a finished bakery item, not a mix sold for home baking.
A Home Double Chocolate Brownie
A simple cocoa brownie for home. It is not labeled as the Starbucks formula, and the squares are not 480 calories each.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the butter and stir in the sugar, eggs and cocoa.
- Fold in the flour, salt and chips. Spread into a lined 8-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F for about 22 minutes. Cool before you cut 9 squares. These home squares are not the 480-calorie store brownie.
