Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup espresso beans
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 1 milk chocolate bar, broken into pieces)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips or broken chocolate bar pieces into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 10-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval to ensure even melting and to prevent burning.
- Coat the Espresso Beans: Once the chocolate is fully melted and smooth, remove the bowl from the microwave and add the espresso beans. Stir gently until all beans are evenly coated with chocolate.
- Separate and Place Beans: Using a fork, lift each chocolate-covered espresso bean individually and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the beans do not touch to prevent sticking together.
- Repeat Coating: Continue this process until all the espresso beans are coated and arranged on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Let Chocolate Set: Allow the chocolate-covered espresso beans to cool and set at room temperature. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
- Make it Keto: Use keto-friendly chocolates like Choczero or Lily’s brand chocolate for a low-carb option.
