Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped, divided

  • ½ cup coffee beans

Directions

  1. Place 2 ounces chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on Low until almost melted, about 1 minute; do not allow chocolate to burn. Stir to melt any remaining pieces. Cool slightly.

  2. Drop a small handful of coffee beans into melted chocolate; drench until completely covered. Remove beans with a fork; drop onto waxed paper, making sure beans are separated. Repeat with remaining beans. Let beans cool until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, place remaining 2 ounces chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on Low until almost melted, about 1 minute; do not allow to burn. Stir to melt any remaining pieces. Cool slightly, about 2 minutes.

  4. Drop a small handful of chocolate-covered coffee beans, in batches, into melted chocolate until completely covered with a second coating. Remove beans with a fork; drop onto a new sheet of waxed paper, making sure beans are separated. Let beans cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

For the best results, be sure to use very good quality chocolate. Milk chocolate is used in this recipe, but dark or white chocolate in the same portions should work as well .

The dipping process can be repeated a third, or even a forth time depending on how large you want the beans to be. Simply add 2 oz of chocolate each time, and cool completely between dips.
