These little cookies are delicious! Loved the coffee flavor throughout. I used Chocolate Graham crackers 1/4 cup of light corn syrup and 1/4 cup of Sugar-free Honey to lesson the calories a bit. These were gone in a flash. Next time, I'll double the recipe and hide them for myself ;) Thanks for sharing another *Keeper* ~V
