Hmmmm... that depends, on what I'm not sure. There's been times I've kept popping them uncontrollably and had no effect on my mood, and other times it's made me feel very hyper/somewhat manic. But usually, no matter how many I'm having, it makes me feel a little better - partly because I see it as treating myself, which I don't do often, usually feel guilty if I do, and feel like I deserve very much the opposite. But oddly enough, I don't think I've ever felt guilty after chocolate-covered coffee beans. Maybe there's something to the beans to go along with the good qualities of the chocolate... I'd like to think so, anyway.
