I just ate a few, and yes I feel a little more awake.
I tried looking it up on Google, but have found no hard facts that the candy has caffeine in it, or that they have more caffeine than a regular cup of coffee.

Just wondering. Either way, they taste better- being the chocolate lover that I am.
~Yes, they do. We use them for long over the road drives!~
Yes they do. It depends on how long they have been roasted. Longer roasting time leaves less caffeine in the bean. It only takes a few ounces to make a whole pot of coffee, so a small handful eaten slowly should give you a good, long caffeine buzz.
Don’t know how much they have in them but they sure do give me a pick-me-up and I love them
Basically the caffiene is released during the brewing process, the espresso beans and the chocolate coating have a moderate amount of caffiene.
I have know from the information the processor I used to buy them from, they had a note in the boxes, we used to make a mousse with both the beans in the mousse and as a decoration on top of the whipped cream.
You would have to eat about 1/3 cup to ingest about the same as 1 good strong cup of coffee.
