"Where the Art and Elegance of Taking Tea is Treasured"
Jar Ingredients:
"Viennese If You Please"
Viennese Coffee Treat Mix in a Jar
2 cups crushed chocolate
chip cookies
1-1/4 cups sifted powdered
sugar
1-1/4 cups chopped nuts
2 tablespoons unsweetened
cocoa powder
1-1/2 teaspoons instant coffee
or instant espresso powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Remaining Ingredients:
4-5 tablespoons espresso,
strong coffee or water
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
You will need one 1-quart glass food storage jar for this coffee mix.
Layer the ingredients in the jar as follows: crushed cookies, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, cocoa powder, instant coffee and cinnamon. You may need to tamp down each layer as you fill the jar. (The flat head of a mallet works well for this.)
Seal the jar and decorate with a pretty fabric round placed over the lid and tied with ribbons, or however you would like to finish the jar. Be sure to attach a card with the directions for making these Viennese Coffee Treats. The jar can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to one month.
To make the Treats, empty the contents of the jar into a large bowl. Stir until mixed. Add 4-5 tablespoons espresso, strong coffee or water just to moisten. Form the mixture into 1" balls. Roll the balls in 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar until well coated. Place the balls on a sheet of waxed paper and let stand about 1 hour until dry.
Makes approximately 30 treats.
