This is a mix of smooth blend of coffee, cocoa and a nutty flavor is better than coffeehouse version. Try it, you like it absolutely.

Tip
To make chocolate curls, warm a solid block of chocolate in the microwave for a few seconds. Then hold a vegetable peeler against a flat side of the block and carefully bring the blade toward you. Allow the curls to fall onto a plate or piece of waxed paper in a single layer. Slide a toothpick through each curl and carefully place where desired.
