Have you tried the Dove Mocha Latte & Dark Chocolate Swirl Chocolates?  It’s the ideal chocolate & coffee candy and they are smack dab in the dough of these cookies! They have a balance of woodsy-roasted coffee, rich chocolate and creamy latte flavors and as an added decor, you have those smooth and sleek swirls!  Love!  

I saw these when I perusing down the candy aisle, like I do every time I go to the store.  It’s a ritual. *I peruse.* Then ‘THEY‘ caught my eye and then my heart. Just like that! Ugh…I didn’t even fight it.

If there’s one thing you have to know about me; I’m not a fighter.  I just walked away…with the bag OF Dove Mocha Latte & Dark Chocolate Swirl Chocolates.  *muhahaha* 

The other extreme chocolate super-powers in these cookies include Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder and Ghirardelli 60% Bittersweet Chocolate Chips.  

A tablespoon or two of strong coffee  or espresso powder for a little extra flava kicks it up a notch and WOW! 

These are some damn serious, yummy cookies!  

Great for Christmas gifts placed in a christmas tins along with some Dove chocolates, perfect for a cookie exchange,  holiday parties, book club and mid-night cravings and of course with a Mocha Latte! 

Pure Dark Chocolate & Coffee Nirvana!  Make these and get rave reviews!  🙂   

Psstt….If you chocolate and coffee together, you must take a gander at this delicious Home-made Chocolate Kahlua & Cream Bundt Cake too!  Win-Win!
