Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans

Lately, I've been enjoying chocolate covered espresso beans. Who would have ever thought those nasty little black beans would taste so yummy when covered with chocolate?!? And I don't even like coffee--let alone the beans. My dad introduced me to them about 3 weeks ago, and ever since then...yummmo. :-) The problem is, these little suckers are $4-$7 a pound! And yes...there are a lot of beans in a pound. (3250 beans, to be exact) but still! It's the principle!! Those things are itty bity teenie tiny...I don't want to spend $5 on something that'll be gone in a few measly days.

I know I could save money, and yet still enjoy this delicacy if I made them myself...

Thus....I have decided to attempt to make my own. I wanted to share the recipe with my fellow blog readers. I will let you know, how they turn out, after I make them!

~CHOCOLATE COVERED ESPRESSO/COFFEE BEANS~

1 cup of espresso beans or coffee beans

1 1/2 cup of choco chips, choco chunks, or choco candies

Melt the chocolate...don't let it burn.

Stir in the beans and then lay on wax paper.

spread them out, so that they don't touch eachother.

let harden overnight--or if in a hurry, freeze them for an hour.

Then...enjoy!!

Sounds easy enough, right?
