Recipe for Coffee Chews?


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 228 Posts

I am interested in an easy inexpensive "coffee chews" recipe. It needs to pack a lot of punch to deliver a great deal of caffeine kick in a small portion. I know about chocolate covered coffee beans and have had them for myself and have given them as a gift. I realize there are free recipes online to easily make my own. The problem is I would like something similar with no hard crunching needed, something chewy and delicious please!

Roll in chocolate sprinkles, pressing lightly.
Wrap tightly, and refrigerate at least 12 hours. Alternatively, freeze logs up to 6 months before proceeding.
Heat oven to 375ºF.
Cut rolls into 1/4" slices, and place 1" apart on ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 6 to 8 minutes (12 min if frozen). Cool on rack.

This an idea that I haven't tried, but it would pack caffeine in a chew. Make caramel candy...sugar and cream....be very careful not to burn yourself. Add instant espresso granules...or instant coffee, but the espresso is smoother. The amount to add is the variable...I would add a little, stir, cool on a teaspoon, taste, then add more until it's as strong as you want it.

I've made caramel for pastry making and didn't have trouble remelting it so long as I didn't re-cook it. Good luck
