Hopjes (/ˈhɒpjəs/; also referred to as Haagse Hopjes hopjes from The Hague) are a type of Dutch sweets with a slight coffee and caramel flavour that originated in the 18th century.The hopje was named after Hendrik baron Hop whose doctor advised him not to drink coffee. He ordered his baker Theodorus van Haaren to invent a sweet with coffee flavouring. After some experimenting van Haaren created a sweet made of coffee caramel cream and butter.
