The key ingredient that is the difference between good and excellent homemade chocolate covered coffee beans is the selection of the right coffee bean. Therefore, it is important to buy coffee beans that are of optimum quality.

High-quality coffee beans can be purchased at grocery stores, but probably a better place to purchase the coffee beans would be a coffee specialty store.

The next important step in making homemade chocolate covered coffee beans is the selection of chocolate. The best type of chocolate to choose it is that chocolate that made specifically for dipping. In addition, the selection of chocolate to be used for the dipping process can include chocolate chips and squares.

Once the type of chocolate has been selected the next step is to choose your favorite chocolate flavor. Examples of choices available include white chocolate, milk chocolate as well as the dark or semi-sweet chocolate.

3. How to make the Chocolate Coffee Beans

Once the coffee beans have been selected and you have decided on your choice of chocolate it is time to begin the dipping process of making chocolate covered coffee beans. That process begins with melting the chocolate.

When melting the chocolate it is important to keep in mind two important considerations. The first consideration is to make sure that you do not burn your chocolate. Therefore, it is important to melt the chocolate at a proper temperature. That melting temperature should be at a low heat and the melting chocolate should be stirred often.

Another consideration is to make sure that you do not mix water with the chocolate. This combination will produce lumps in the melted chocolate mixture.

Once the chocolate has been completely melted the coffee beans can be dipped in to the chocolate. After the coffee beans have been dipped into the chocolate they need to be set aside in order for the chocolate to harden. This process can be accelerated by placing the chocolate covered coffee beans in the refrigerator.
