The bars were a bit dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some extra butter next time.

I wasn't a fan of the mocha flavor in these bars. I thought it was a bit too strong.

I was a bit skeptical about the combination of coffee and chocolate, but these bars proved me wrong. They're the perfect balance of sweet and bitter.

I love how rich and decadent these bars are. The mocha flavor is perfect and the chocolate ganache on top is to die for.
