Ok, so for our wedding favors we're borrowing an idea we saw on TK. Since we met at Starbucks, I think this would be a really cute idea. Anyhow. We went to the store the other day to taste some chocolate covered espresso beans. I think they were gross. He liked them though. Now I don't know what to put in the cups we got. Do you have a favorite coffee, espresso, mocha etc flavored treat? I thought biscotti might be a cute second place. But that's still a maybe because it's kind of expensive. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    You could fill them with little bags of cappuccino/mocha/hot chocolate mix and an individually-wrapped biscotti ... if you have access to a wholesale store like Sam's or Costco, the mix and cookies should be relatively inexpensive.  Our Sam's sells a big tub of biscotti assortment (individually wrapped) for $10-$20.

    I personally looooove chocolate covered coffee beans. Mmmm. I'd think they would more expensive than biscotti though. How bout tiny bags of different flavored coffees in individual packages?

    Does it have to be a coffee "flavor"?

    Why not just use some brown & tan M&Ms (or Jelly Bellies, or whatever)? Gives the same "look" as the picture above, but a more neutral flavor. Now, I would love you if you mixed a few of the chocolate espresso beans in, but certainly NBD if you don't...

    Hmm not sure if this is an option, but have you thought about making/looking for a candy shop that makes Kahlua truffles?  That'd give you the coffee/mocha flavor that you're looking for, but with a little twist.

    I worked at SBUX for like a billion years (or it seemed like it then) and I loathe chocolate covered espresso beans. They are so gritty and... ew. 

    Anyhow... I would suggest maybe putting some packs of Starbucks Via in there with little biscotti or coffee flavored candy. Maybe even a tiny bottle of Starbucks liqueur!
