Would caffeinated chocolate truffles be a product you'd buy?

I wouldn’t buy them. I quit caffeine years ago, but even when I was addicted I would not have bought sweet treats with extra caffeine.

I knew a lot of people in college who purposely drank Mountain Dew because it was high in caffeine, maybe that type of person would buy caffeinated candy.

I haven’t seen this exact thing, but I used to love chocolate covered espresso beans. I like the quick caffeine hit, and the contrast of sweet and bitter flavor.

I might try your caffeine enriched chocolate truffles, although chocolate itself has caffeine anyway.

Sounds like it could be something I can treat myself with from time to time :)

Chocolate already has some in it naturally. I would think adding more is actually dangerous as it would be easy for someone to unknowingly eat too many. I love coffee but I have taken caffeine in pill form when I have had to be away from a bathroom for and extended period and have to remain focused. Long car rides, standardized exams etc.. I can see a niche market for this but not a large one. When people eat chocolate they generally want to eat a lot of it.

It wouldn’t appeal to me. I try to avoid caffeine most of the time and even worry about too much chocolate or coffee ice cream late at night.

I’m thinking the truffles would be like Godiva Belgian dessert truffles – serving size 3, 40 grams, 200 calories.
Chocolate already has some caffeine in it but that number is small: 40 grams of dark has about 15 mg caffeine. I’m thinking that number could be 100–120 mg – a strong cup of coffee.
The intent would be a romantic after-dinner treat that would likely culminate in some activity between the sheets.
The chocolates would likely be 3 times the price of regular truffles.

Yes, please.

You mean with extra caffeine injected, not just with coffee liqueur or coffee beans or something, such as these ?

@Zaku The caffeine would be added. It would not affect the taste or chocolate properties at all.
I’d add about 33mg into a 15 gram chocolate.

@cookieman You’ll be the first customer. :-)

Hey, me too!!!

Then, probably not, or not for myself. I don’t think I particularly want/need caffeine in my diet. I’m conditioned to it with my daily coffee, and don’t want more than I get from that, or from other more naturally coffee-flavored things.

Maybe if I were on a road trip and wanting to ensure I stayed awake.

@LuckyGuy can I have one too?

No thank you. I’m oversensitive to caffeine and stopped drinking coffee years ago.

Women don’t function like that, by majority. Women don’t require a burst of energy to be motivated for skintastics. The stronger encouragement is relaxation, trust. Men have different physical function, and that makes it difficult to understand what contributes to function for women.
Women who lack motivation are not likely to become more inviting after some caffeine infusion.
What works for women about chocolate is not the caffeine. It is texture and flavor. There is no assault to taste such as hot chilis. It is smooth, creamy, saturates the tongue and embraces the taste buds.

@Patty_Melt “embraces the taste buds”...sheer poetry. And that is indeed what I love about chocolate.

To your question, @LuckyGuy: I wouldn’t be a customer, since I’ve recently had to cut coffee and other caffeinated things out of my diet, but I imagine you’d sell the item.

Please take note, though, of @Patty_Melt‘s point that what revs a guy’s engine is not necessarily a magic potion for a woman. It was ever thus.

I’d be a customer, not for a potential aphrodisiac, but just to taste it. I’ll bet it’s good!

This is great input!
Picture a nice box of 6 high-end dessert truffles presented as an after dinner gift for each other. The Y chromosome holder pigs out and eats 4 getting 130 mg caffeine and 250 calories, while the XX eats two, at 65 mg caffeine and 125 calories.
Maybe he’d stay awake for a few more minutes after activity.

^^ I prefer the cattle prod instead of subtler methods!

I would probably opt for chocolate coated coffee beans.

Probably not.

I’m not big on truffles nor looking for extra caffeine.

But I’d definitely try one if you made some!

Have you seen caffeinated water? It’s a thing!

Look up Water Joe.

I hope you were just curious with the question, rather than thinking of marketing them, because https://www.amazon.com/MUV-Energy-Chocolate-Truffles-Caffeinated/dp/B08DXTL4Z3?dchild=1 they’re already out there. Yummm, sound wonderful.

@smudges Wow! Thank you! I had not seen this.
They advertise that each piece has 150 mg of caffeine. That is quite a bit. If someone were to pig out and eat 4 they would be in trouble.

They’d definitely have the jitters!
