Note to those people who don't drink coffee and have a problem with espresso powder in recipes. I don't drink coffee any more but a little jar (2 oz.) of espresso powder lives in my cupboard (under the can of baking powder!). I've had it for quite a while now (years) and it's only about half gone. I have no idea what it cost. But the point is, it doesn't take up that much room, it seems to keep forever, and when I need it I have it. It really does tweak up the chocolat flavor but doesn't add a noticeable coffee flavor. Thanks for the endorsement, Carolyn! I really do like the espresso powder with chocolate... as you say, it doesn't make the chocolate taste like coffee - any more than vanilla makes chocolate taste like vanilla. It simply enhances that rich chocolate flavor... PJH
