Dark or Milk

8 calories each

Tiny bit of chocolate, tiny bit of caffeine. Great way to change the flavor of your mouth with a little treat. and 1 or 3 is enough. Doesn't have to be a handful.

Maybe the whole world knew about these already but they are relatively new to me.

That's all.

    I am not a fan. It's weird because I love chocolate, and I love coffee. My husband teases that I would eat anything if it were covered in chocolate, but meh, not really true.

    Glad you enjoy them!

    Dark Chocolate all the way.

    These are one of the very few things that I just cannot keep around as I will consume them all in one sitting.

    That's too bad but I can relate. We all have a few foods that we CAN NOT have around. IIFYM works for many people but we all have our triggers.

    One of mine is chicken wings. I don't want one... or four. I want 20!

    I kinda have to eat at least half the package. XD So it'd always be a nice 50 calorie treat for me.

    I used to down a bunch of chocolate covered espresso beans before school when I was in high school. I was a good kid--no smoking or drinking--so caffeine was my drug. Haha

    yeahhhhh me + chocolate anything = ALL OF IT GONE IN ONE SITTING.

    But, I get your point. It is a great two-in-one deal.

    Sometimes when I am really craving those fancy coffee drinks, I will get some chocolate coffee beans instead and that usually solves the craving.

    They sound lovely but they legit don't exist in my country, and I don't want them enough to buy 'em online or make myself... So yeah.

    Any idea exactly how much caffeine is in them?

    I had to give up caffeine almost entirely a few years ago, can only tolerate small amounts, and I've avoided chocolate covered coffee beans for that reason... but the use of the phrase "tiny bit of caffeine" gives me a glimmer of hope.

    I used to love those things. Usually only available here in dark. And I've never seen white. Might have to hunt those down.

    Found this. Not sure how accurate it is, but it's a start. http://www.caffeineinformer.com/caffeine-content/coffee-beans
