[Krispy Kreme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-krispy-kreme-chocomania-collection) recently expanded its grocery collection with a range of caffeinated chocolates called 'Coffee Thins.' In recent years, the popular donut chain has been placing a greater emphasis on its [coffee products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitkatflavored). Now the company is giving consumers a new way to get their daily dose of caffeine.

The Coffee Thins range consists of three classic Krispy Kreme flavors: Original Glazed, Cappuccino and Caramel Macchiato. The chocolates are manufactured by Tierra Nueva, which uses a unique production process to convert the whole coffee bean into an edible ingredient that perfectly complements the rich cocoa flavor. The result is a [caffeinated treat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-chocolate) that tastes just as indulgent as any other chocolate bar.

The new line is perfect for busy consumers who may be looking for a quick and easy caffeine fix.
