Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans

The mix of chocolate and roasted coffee is great in a drink, and even better in a sweet treat such as chocolate-covered coffee beans. These are really easy to make, and are a favorite among coffee lovers. Here are a couple of recipes for you to try.

Recipe # 1

     1/3 cup roasted coffee beans
     1/2 cup chocolate chips

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler until liquid and smooth. Drop in a handful of beans, and stir around. Scoop out with a spoon, and there on the parchment paper. Keep them separate. Continue until all the beans are covered.

They will harden overnight, or if you are in a hurry, you can freeze it for about half an hour. Once hard, do not stick together and can be stored in any airtight container.

Recipe # 2

     1 cup of roasted coffee beans
     Pieces of chocolate 4 oz
     3 tablespoons of cocoa powder

Melt the chocolate and cover the beans with the technique in Case # 1. Let harden a bit ; but not completely. Roll the chocolate beans cocoa powder, and then let them finish hardening.

I usually do not recommend flavored coffees, but they can add a tasty twist to these treats. Try hazelnut or vanilla.
