Instructions

Prepare your setup

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Pro tip: This prevents the beans from sticking.

Melt the chocolate

In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt 200 g of chopped dark chocolate with 1 tbsp of coconut oil, stirring until smooth.

Pro tip: Use a double boiler to avoid scorching the chocolate.

Coat the coffee beans

Remove the bowl from heat. Add 1 cup of whole coffee beans to the melted chocolate, stirring to coat evenly.

Pro tip: Work quickly to ensure even coating before the chocolate begins to harden.

Spread on the sheet

Using a fork, lift the beans out of the chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Pro tip: Use a slotted spoon for easier handling.

Chill

Refrigerate the chocolate covered beans for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Pro tip: Ensure the beans are not touching to prevent clumping.

Store and enjoy

Transfer the chilled beans to an airtight container for storage.

Pro tip: Keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain texture.
