Chocolate-Covered Coffee Beans: A Caffeine Lover's Dream

Ever wanted to combine your love of chocolate and coffee into one addictive snack? Look no further! These chocolate-covered coffee beans are super easy to make and pack a serious punch. Fair warning: they're dangerously good.

What you'll need:

• 1 cup whole coffee beans (pick your favorite roast)
• 8 oz dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if that's your thing)
• A pinch of sea salt (crucial ingredient!)

Let's do this:

• For starters, melt the chocolate. Toss it in a microwave-safe bowl and zap it in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. Don't overdo it - nobody likes burnt chocolate.
• Once your chocolate's all melty and smooth, dump in those coffee beans. Give 'em a good stir until they're all coated. It'll look like a delicious, chocolatey mess.
• Here's where it gets a bit messy (but fun). Use a fork to fish out the beans one by one, tapping off the excess chocolate. Spread 'em out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt over the beans. It sounds weird, but it'll make the flavors pop like crazy.
• Now for the hard part - waiting. Stick the baking sheet in the fridge for about an hour, or until the chocolate's hardened up.
• And voila! You've got yourself a batch of homemade chocolate coffee beans. They're perfect for a quick energy boost, a dessert topping, or just munching on while you binge-watch your favorite show.

Pro tip: These little guys are pretty intense, so maybe don't eat the whole batch right before bedtime. Unless you're planning an all-nighter, in which case, go nuts!

Store them in an airtight container (such as the TV3), and they'll keep for a couple of weeks. But let's be real, they probably won't last that long.

Happy snacking!
