Ingredients

▢ 20 gram coffee beans - medium to light roast works best
▢ 60 gram chopped chocolate - dark, milk, white or ruby

Instructions

Prepare your work area by laying out a sheet of baking/parchment paper or wax paper on your countertop.
Also, place two forks within easy reach near your workspace.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, or place a heatproof glass or metal bowl over a saucepan containing simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Alternatively, you can also melt the chocolate in the microwave. Give it a quick stir at 15-second intervals until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
Once the chocolate is completely melted, remove the bowl from the heat and stir in all of the coffee beans at once.
Move the beans around in the melted chocolate using a spoon or spatula to ensure that each individual bean is completely coated.
Using one fork, lift a few chocolate-covered beans up and out of the bowl. Then, use the second fork to individually drop one bean at a time onto the prepared paper.
If you have any beans sticking together, simply use the forks to gently pry them apart on the paper.
Allow the chocolate coating to fully set and dry, which will take approximately 20 minutes at room temperature. For faster drying, you can place the beans in the fridge.
If you'd like, you can do a second coating of chocolate by repeating the process to add an extra layer of chocolate around each coffee bean.
