Wondering if there is any recipes on here to make some.
Figured if I have any left over stale beans, might as well eat them.

Here is a recipe I've just pulled from the net.

75g dark chocolate
30g whole espresso coffee beans
cocoa powder

Melt the chocolate by breaking it into squares and warming it in a basin over a pan of simmering water. When the chocolate is liquid, stir once or twice, then add the roasted coffee beans. Stir to coat the beans, then lift them out with a fork and drop them on to baking parchment. Separate each bean with a skewer then drop into the cocoa powder and leave to harden. Remove the beans with a palette knife and keep in an airtight jar.

I took it from Click Here (www.guardian.co.uk)

I haven't tried this recipe but the method looks very similar to coating fresh fruit with chocolate so it should work.

Doesn't that kinda mess up your grinder?

chew those beans well!!

you don't want any sharp bean shrapnel lodged in your throat,... or... umm... your.... umm...  intestine/rectum (sharp things not good).

just a word of caution, you can do what ever you want with your own body.

beers.

Just curious, did you ever end up making some of these?  I'd really like to make some for gifts for Xmas this year, and I'd love to know if you had any good results, tips, recipes, etc.

Thanks!

I'll be watching this topic!  I LOVE chocolate covered coffee beans!  I never imagined I would but then I tried one.

You have coffee beans that go stale?  THE SHAME!!  (hey, where's the smily-con menu on this board?)
