Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup espresso beans
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or a milk chocolate bar, broken into pieces) Feel free to experiment with dark or white chocolate.

Method
 

Melting the Chocolate
  1. Place the chocolate chips or broken pieces of your chosen chocolate bar into a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Microwave on high in 10-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate melts evenly.
Coating the Beans
  1. Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, take the bowl out of the microwave and add the espresso beans.
  2. Gently stir until all the beans are fully coated in chocolate.
Setting the Treats
  1. Using a fork, lift each bean individually and place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they don't touch.
  2. Repeat until all beans have been coated and arranged on the baking sheet.
  3. Allow to cool and set at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for quicker hardening.

Notes

Store chocolate-covered espresso beans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. They can also be refrigerated for a longer shelf life, but return to room temperature before serving to maintain texture.
