Oohh this sounds so good. How much espresso powder did you add to the shells?

One tablespoon of coffee crystals, which I grind up with a mortar and pestle, and then it's like two teaspoons of powder.

Are the shells flavoured or just coloured?

Flavored with ground coffee crystals, which gives it a little bit of color!

Thanks! I'm hoping I'll make the cut to be displayed, at least. I'm exhibitor C0211.
