This sounds tasty to me, except for I don't like coffee, is there anything that you might suggest as a replacement for that?

My family will go into shock when they taste these. I'm hyperventilating just looking at them(you would have to have a picture to tempt me more :0} ) Printing it off now. Nnikki, with the small amount of coffee in there I'm not sure you would even taste it. Often coffee is added in small amounts to enhance the flavor of the chocolate. If you don't own a coffeemaker, I'm sure some instant coffee dissolved in boiling water would be almost as good. I keep a small jar of instant coffee in my fridge freezer for just such occasions when I don't want to brew coffee just for 2 Tbsps. Hope that helps.
