Simple Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans
* 1/3 cup roasted coffee beans (or gourmet flavored coffee beans are an extra treat)
* 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Melt the chocolate in
a double boiler until liquid and smooth. Drop in a handful of beans, and stir them around. Scoop them out with a spoon while letting the excess chocolate drip off and set them out on waxed paper. Keep them separate. Continue until all the beans are covered. They will harden overnight, or if you are in a hurry, you can freeze them for about half an hour. Once hard, they won't stick together and can be stored in any airtight container.
* Tip: Add variety to the recipe and make your beans a little fancier by dipping white chocolate over them. This will make strips of white over the brown chocolate and it adds some flare to your candy. You could also roll them in finely chopped nuts or peppermint candy dust (put the candy in a the blender or food processor and chopped until it turns to dust). Roll the beans AFTER you dip...dip again if you want another color chocolate or a more finished shiny look.
