Is it possible to replace the coffee? Could we add the same amount in additional chocolate I stead?
Hi Andrea! You can replace coffee with plain water or even orange juice. The coffee flavor helps bring out the flavor of the chocolate so just water can work but if you want to add a little twist you can try one cup of orange or blood orange juice!
