This were great also. I hate sugar substitutes and used regular sugar instead. That ups the calorie content, but not the fat. If you use sugar, the conversion is identical so just use 1/2 cup of sugar. We also sprinkled powdered sugar on top to make them look pretty on the plate, chocolate syrup would have dressed it up a little too, but they were very good. If you like coffee flavor, make sure you make the coffee really strong, I could hardly taste it. Strangely enough, these tasted even better on the second day
