    @JohnInCarolina what’s your consistency on these like versus the chocolate? I just did it and the caramel one were pretty “runny” versus the pudding consistency of the chocolate. What’s your experience?
    Next time try keeping them in for the two hrs the original linked recipe calls for.  I find that improves the consistency.  But regardless, they are not as dense as the chocolate pots.

    Gotta let them ru for the 2.5 hrs.  I did them and they were similar to the chocolate.

    Nice cook. I see that some folks submerge the jars entirely. I’ve seen many recipes that call for not overtightening the lids (so as to let air escape safely during expansion) and not submerging them completely, but would love if others could confirm that submerging them is a non issue. Can someone please let me know?

    I’ve never had a problem submerging.

    I have made several batches of Egg Bites fully submerged and the jars are just finger tight, no problems at all. 

    Going to try this recipe soon!

    One last question asi plan on making these today for a get together tomorrow. This may sound silly but is honest, the coffee, already decode, or just fresh from the package coffee?

    Not a silly question at all, I think a lot of people get confused on this.  I know of at least one for sure who's made the mistake.  

    The coffee in the recipe is for brewed coffee, not coffee grounds.  I'd think the latter would end up pretty terrible, and the grounds would probably just sink to the bottom of the jars.  

    You could of course also try making these using @Mickey's coffee rub I guess.  That stuff is amazing on chicken.  Not sure about caramel pots though.
