Chocolate Covered Espresso Bean Ducks Recipes

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:

• Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a double boiler over low heat to keep from burning the chocolate. You can also melt it in the microwave, but remember to stir it every 15-30 seconds.
• After it is smooth, turn off the heat and let it cool for a minute, then mix in about 1/3 cup of the roasted coffee beans and stir.
• With a spoon or fork, lay the coffee beans out on some wax paper on a tray, making sure they are all separated from each other.
• Let them cool there, or put them in the freezer to speed things up. If you would like more chocolate on them, or just for looks, drizzle some white or other chocolate over them. Let them cool completely.
• Separate them into a bowl or bag, and then dust them with powdered sugar or cocoa powder if you chose.
