    Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans
    An excellent treat to make for the holidays.

     

     

     
    The mix of chocolate and roasted coffee is great in a drink, and even better in a dessert treat like chocolate covered coffee beans. These are really easy to make, and are a favorite amongst 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 them around. Scoop them out with a spoon, and set them out on waxed 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 them for about half an hour. Once hard, they won't stick together and can be stored in any air-tight container.

    Recipe #2

    • 1 cup roasted coffee beans
    • 4 oz chocolate pieces
    • 3 tbs cocoa powder
    Melt the chocolate and cover the beans, using the technique in Recipe #1. Let them harden a little, but not completely. Roll the chocolate beans in the cocoa powder, and then let them finish hardening.

    I don't normally recommend flavoured coffees, but they can add a tasty twist to these treats. Try hazelnut or vanilla.

    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  Smile

    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.
