Aka "Caffeinated Candy"....
I've been buying my caffeinated candy (mints, chocolates, chocolate mints, etc.) from ThinkGeek (http://www.thinkgeek.com). Then, ThinkGeek started to offer caffeinated chocolate mint truffles, which are really chocolate coated soft chocolate mint candies, but very tasty, and two of them can keep me going all morning. So, I started researching the makers and distributes of the tasty buzz bites, and found them on http://www.xtz.com , where you can order chocolate, orange, peanut butter, and other flavors of caffeine goodies.
Last night, I found some caffeinated candy in the CVS store - it a package called "LifeFitness Instant Energy Beans". Two chewable tablets have 40 mg of caffeine, which is a little less than my normal mug of coffee. They're not as good as chocolate (what is ?), and they have a slight aftertaste, which might be due to the vitamin B-12, or just random chemicals. Anyway, they come in a blue bag; my CVS has them located in the vitamin aisle. They're instantly available and very handy when you don't want to make/ buy/ consume coffee. One advantage of the "Energy Beans" over the truffles is: they don't melt in the heat, which makes then a better choice when traveling, biking, or just storing in your pack. The other advantage is that 2 'beans" only have 10 calories.
