This candy contains a mild caffeine level, providing a subtle and gentle lift with the rich, buttery flavor of caramel and a hint of coffee.
Werther’s Original Coffee Candies are hard caramel candies that beautifully combine the brand’s signature caramel taste with rich coffee flavors.
These candies come in two varieties to suit different preferences. The classic version delivers the full caramel-coffee experience with real cream and butter. For those reducing sugar, Werther’s also offers Sugar-Free Caramel Coffee Hard Candies with the same flavor profile.
Caffeine Content in the Werther’s
Werther’s coffee candies contain only a minimal amount of caffeine. In fact, these treats have just 4mg of caffeine per 100g of candy. To put that in perspective, a standard 5.5oz bag contains merely 6.24mg of caffeine total.
Considering that a typical 8oz cup of coffee packs around 95mg of caffeine, you’d need to consume approximately 15 entire bags of Werther’s coffee hard candies to match the caffeine in a single cup of coffee!
A Look at the Core Ingredients
The signature taste of Werther’s coffee candies comes from a blend of core ingredients. The sweet foundation is built on glucose syrup and sugar.
For that classic rich and creamy texture, the candies are made with real cream, butter, and condensed whey. The distinct coffee flavor is delivered through coffee extract, which also provides a minimal amount of caffeine.
A touch of salt and a mix of natural and artificial flavors are added to perfect the taste. These candies contain common allergens, including wheat, dairy, and soy.
