Why I Love This Recipe
I always made these for my Halloween parties. I'd garnish with sugar eyeballs. Grown up treats for Trick or Treat
Ingredients You'll Need
For Crust
1 3/4 cups flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar
pinch salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter -- chilled and cut into pieces
1/3 or more, cup strong, cold coffee

For the Crust - Whisk together in a large bowl, flour, cocoa, sugar and salt. Add butter and cut in until course. Add coffee. Knead briefly and form into a log. Wrap and chill for several hours.
