I
was overjoyed when I spied a display of Ferrero's
Pocket Coffee at an Italian specialty store. I'd heard of these Italian chocolates with the liquid espresso
center, but had never found any until yesterday. I'm not sure if Italian truckers use these instead of speed, but I'd
like to think so. The sugar and caffeine make for quite a one-two punch. So much so that I decided to skip
my usual cup of java this morning. Ferrero says that sweetened liquid coffee accounts for 54 percent of the candy's ingredients. When you unwrap one, the aroma of espresso perfumes the air. Underneath the chocolate is a thin, crunchy sugar shell that cradles the magic elixir. "La carica del caffè e l'energia del cioccolato," reads a slogan on the box, which roughly translates to "The pick-me-up of coffee and the energy of chocolate." No doubt, I'm not eating another one of these bad boys for several hours.
