These pork chops were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less molasses next time.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I really enjoyed these pork chops. The molasses and brown sugar in the marinade balanced out the coffee flavor perfectly.

These pork chops were so easy to make and they were so delicious! I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was a perfect meal.

The coffee molasses marinade is a great way to add flavor to pork chops. I also like to add a little bit of garlic and onion powder to the marinade.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork chops turned out dry and tough. I'm not sure what went wrong.
