Questions about Dark chocolate coated coffee beans
Do dark chocolate coated coffee beans contain caffeine?
Yes: the coffee bean contains caffeine, and the chocolate may contribute a little too. The amount varies with the beans and coating, so treat them as a caffeinated sweet rather than eating them like ordinary chocolate.
How many dark chocolate coated coffee beans is a serving?
A typical serving is about 28 beans, or 40 g; that provides 216 kcal. They’re easy to keep nibbling, so put a portion in a small bowl rather than eating from the packet.
How should you store dark chocolate coated coffee beans?
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from sunlight and strong-smelling foods. Avoid the fridge: condensation can make the chocolate lose its smooth finish.
Can you use dark chocolate coated coffee beans in baking?
Yes. Roughly chop them and fold them into brownie or biscuit dough near the end, so the pieces remain distinct; you can also scatter them over a frosted cake just before serving.
What goes well with dark chocolate coated coffee beans?
Serve a few alongside espresso or a milky coffee, or add them to a bowl of dried fruit and nuts for a sweet-and-crunchy snack. They also make a crisp topping for ice cream.
Are dark chocolate coated coffee beans different from milk chocolate coated coffee beans?
The dark-chocolate version has a more bitter cocoa flavour, which can make the roasted bean taste more pronounced; the milk-chocolate version is creamier and sweeter. Per 100 g, milk chocolate coated coffee beans have 549 kcal, compared with 540 kcal for the dark-chocolate version.
Can you make dark chocolate coated coffee beans at home?
Use fully roasted coffee beans, not green ones. Dip them in melted dark chocolate with a fork, let excess chocolate drip off, then leave them to set in a single layer on baking paper in a cool room.
