Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans Recipes

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip coffee beans in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set, 10-15 minutes. If desired, roll in cocoa. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Prehaeat oven to 350°.
• Place coffee beans on baking pan and roast for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove and let cool.
• In double boiler, melt chocolate until very creamy.
• Add coffee beans and stir until completely coated.
• Remove with slotted spoon, allowing excess chocolate to drip off and place beans on waxed paper.
• Once the coffee beans have cooled sufficiently, but while the chocolate is still a little soft, roll the beans in your hands to form round balls.
• Roll each one in cocoa and set aside until chocolate has hardened.

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate by breaking it into pieces and warming it slowly in a saucepan over a very low heat.
• When the chocolate is melted, stir in the roasted coffee beans.
• Keep mixing until they are coated in chocolate.
• Lift them out with a fork and drop them onto parchment or waxed paper.
• Separate the beans from one another, then drop into cocoa powder and leave to harden.
• Remove the beans with a palatte knife and keep in a sealed container.

Steps:

• Place 1/2 of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low until almost melted, about 1 minute; do not allow chocolate to burn. Remove from the microwave, stir to melt any remaining pieces, and let cool slightly.
• Drop a small handful of coffee beans into the chocolate and drench until completely covered. Fish out with a fork and drop onto waxed paper, making sure beans are separated. Repeat with remaining beans. Let cool until chocolate is solid, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining chocolate in the microwave; do not allow to burn. Stir once and cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Drop a small amount of chocolate-covered coffee beans into the melted chocolate at a time, until completely covered with a second coating. Place on a new sheet of waxed paper and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Line a 9x14-inch baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Place coffee beans in a food processor and pulse a few times just until coarsely chopped.
• Melt milk chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes. Add shortening to make melted milk chocolate smoother; stir until smooth. Stir coffee beans into melted milk chocolate until coated.
• Pour milk chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading mixture to the edges. Refrigerate.
• Melt dark chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, about 5 minutes. Add shortening to make melted dark chocolate smoother; stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
• Pour melted dark chocolate over refrigerated milk chocolate mixture, spreading evenly over the top. Refrigerate until set, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Peel the silicone mat from the bottom of the chocolate mixture and place onto a work surface. Cut into pieces using a sharp knife. The bark will crack and break as you go.
