Chocolate Covered Expresso Beans

The mix of chocolate and roasted coffee is great in a drink, and even better in a dessert treat like chocolate covered coffee beans.

• 1/3 cup roasted coffee beans
• 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, 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 air-tight container.
