How about this: Equal weights of chocolate chips and fresh-roasted whole coffee beans.

Microwave the chocolate to melt (15 seconds, stir, repeat until melted) and fold iin the whole coffee beans and then drop lumps onto wax paper. Allow to harden.

Now you can satisfy sweet tooth and caffeine cravings simultaneously.

If you don't roast your own coffee, many large supermarkets sell whole roasted beans. and No, those little chocolate-covered "espresso" morsels at the mall candy store won't hold a candle to these...
