Whopper Coffee
No, not the Burger King hamburger. I’m talking about the candy kind of Whoppers; you know, chocolate on the outside, and that always-mysterious ingredient, malted milk, on the inside. I used the Easter egg kind, because they were on sale.
Just put some whoppers into your mug.
Then pour really hot coffee over it. It needs to be hot enough to melt those suckers.
Yes yes I know, it looks like poo. But just keep stirring until they’re mostly melted. You can get through this.
Eventually it is a nice dark, textured chocolaty drink.
It tastes like mocha coffee with a hint of the caramel-ish malt insides. Perhaps last week’s bacon coffee made you nauseous, but I assure you, this actually tastes very good.
You can learn more about the various kinds of Whoppers on Wikipedia:
Oh, hey, do you have suggestions for future installments of Putting Weird Things in Coffee? Send them to suggestions [at] puttingweirdthingsincoffee [dot] com . Let me be your guinea pig.
I have TOTALLY done that! 🙂 I’m so glad you posted it, it makes me feel like less of a freak. I can honestly come out of the closet about my habit to put weird things in drinks.
Maltesers are better than Whoppers.
The end.
Von: I don’t know if it makes you less of a freak, or just among other freaks. 🙂 I’m glad it didn’t come completely out of left field though. Everyone should try this (and other weird things) more.
Cedric: I wonder if there’s even a difference. 😛 Someday I’ll try them side by side, plus in coffee, to settle it for reals.
I can see the benefit of using Whoppers this way. They’re way more work than they’re worth, otherwise, with all that chewing. Makes the jaw go numb.
In any case, you should try red chili powder for your next one. Not the chili powder you’d use to make tacos or sloppy joes, but the stuff that tastes of burning. They use just a hint of it (and so should you, if you’d like to keep your tongue intact) in chocolate sometimes, so I thought… hey… coffee?
Yeah seriously, chewing is the worst.
Chili powder is a great idea. It’s weird how often people mention it, too; there must be something to it. Hot sauce is coming up soon, but chili powder will be soon to follow.
really superb!!! i liked it soooo much!!! thank u
Ooooh you tried it? That’s great! Glad you liked it!
When did the Whooper makers stop caring? They used to be round, now they look like birth defects.
Toss them in a food processor or mortar and pestle them, then add them. Gets rid of the chunky problem
I’m planning to do this right now!
Yay! I hope you like it!
