Various Recipes For Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans
Here are some simple recipes taken off the web from About.Com for chocolate
covered coffee beans (with some tips added to enhance your creation):
Simple Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans
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 while
letting the excess chocolate drip off 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 airtight
container.
Tip: Add variety to the recipe and make your beans a little fancier by
dipping white chocolate over them. This will make strips of white over the
brown chocolate and it adds some flare to your candy. You could also roll them
in finely chopped nuts or peppermint candy dust (put the candy in a the blender
or food processor and chopped until it turns to dust).
