• Pour in the espresso beans and use a fork to stir well to coat.
• Use the fork to remove a few espresso beans at a time and bang the fork against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

CHOCOLATE COVERED ESPRESSO BEANS

• Melt the chocolate by breaking it into pieces and warming it slowly in a saucepan over a very low heat.
• When the chocolate is melted, stir in the roasted coffee beans.
• Keep mixing until they are coated in chocolate.
• Lift them out with a fork and drop them onto parchment or waxed paper.
• Separate the beans from one another, then drop into cocoa powder and leave to harden.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED COFFEE BEANS

• In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip coffee beans in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set, 10-15 minutes. If desired, roll in cocoa. Store in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE-COVERED COFFEE BEANS

Steps:

• Place 1/2 of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on low until almost melted, about 1 minute; do not allow chocolate to burn. Remove from the microwave, stir to melt any remaining pieces, and let cool slightly.
• Drop a small handful of coffee beans into the chocolate and drench until completely covered. Fish out with a fork and drop onto waxed paper, making sure beans are separated. Repeat with remaining beans. Let cool until chocolate is solid, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining chocolate in the microwave; do not allow to burn. Stir once and cool slightly, about 2 minutes. Drop a small amount of chocolate-covered coffee beans into the melted chocolate at a time, until completely covered with a second coating. Place on a new sheet of waxed paper and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO BEAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven 375°F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together whole-wheat pastry flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add in the sugar and beat until the mixture is a thick, frosting-like consistency. Add in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is incorporated before adding in the next one. Add in the vanilla and mix until it is incorporated.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring after each addition until the flour is incorporated. The dough should be moist and uniformly brown.
• Stir in the espresso beans and chocolate chips by hand, mixing just until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
• Drop the dough by heaping tablespoons onto a cookie sheet.
• Bake for about 10 minutes on the middle rack. Don't overbake or they will dry out. It's best to underbake them just a bit.
• Allow to cool.
