Anyone ever eaten???

http://www.ferriscoffee.com/chocolate.html  Here is the website for the place we visited several years ago.  This page shows the chocolate covered coffee beans, I can't find any prices,  you'll have to do your own navigation on the site.  The tabs at the top of the page will get you where you want to go......I'm thinking of trying to make some myself from the recipe given on this thread.  Thanks to Zakons for finding that............Gram 

I have had chocolate covered coffee beans, and they were tasty!  I am supposed to watch my caffeine intake, unfortunately. I am sure decaffeinated beans wouldn't be any fun at all.

Thanks to Zakons for the amazing recipe.

I'm going to have to make or buy some.  

If you have a Starbucks or esspresso stand in your area most of them sell these tasty little treats!!! i take a bunch fishing with me.. they certainly keep us going on the LONG days!!!

Thanx Zakons!

Oh Yes I have... They whined me up like a cheap watch... But Oh  they are good....mmmmmmmm

bump.. different would like to try.. thanks bdett

I have to try them. 

 I don't like coffee, so thought they sounded terrible.  I was playing Bridge at someone's house one night and she had some in a candy dish on the table.  She kept urging me to try one.  I kept saying I didn't like coffee, but she insisted I would like these.  Well....I was right - they were terrible!  I could hardly stand to chew it up and swallow it, but figured it would not be polite to spit it out on the table.  TRIPLE YUCK!  I guess if you're a coffee fan, they probably are good.  

We have some now -- they're pretty strong in flavor, have to be in the mood for a few!

I had my first one at a German bakery about 30 years ago. It was on top of the piece of cake I'd ordered.  I had to ask the waitress what it was. I thought for sure it would be bitter but OMG it was delicious.  We stop in that bakery about twice a year and always get a bag (and some cake!).

 Long before I'd heard of chocolate-covered coffee beans, long before I'd had any coffee I enjoyed drinking, I already liked eating coffee beans.  When I was 18 and first living on my own, I worked at a Roy Rodgers restaurant in a large shopping mall, which had been my hang-out years earlier, when I was in Jr High. 

 Before work and on breaks I'd walk the mall.  My favorite stops were the tabaconists, and Coffees of the World.  Both, because of the wonderful smells.  I'm not a fan of pipe tobacco when it's burning, but I love the it's unburned aroma, earthy tobacco scent mixed with wood smells and the aromas added to some pipe blends.  There was a cherry vanilla blend I particularly recall.  And at the coffee shop they had big barrels of beans.  Not the way I'd buy coffee today--exposed to the air like that--but it meant that there were always a few beans which had escaped their enclosures, and I'd munch a few as I browsed.

 So chocolate-covered coffee beans were a natural for me--something I was bound to love, but which I could not imagine anyone else would want.
