Homemade chocolates (coffee beans?)

Star_girl90

Hi everyone, I'm new here! I thought i'd sign up in an attempt to find out about my chocolate/coffee bean query.

I like to melt chocolate into silicone moulds to make chocolates for people at Christmas, I managed to buy a bag of roasted coffee beans from work reduced to 40p (not even short dated just stock we don't sell) and thought I could use it in my chocolates this year. Would this work? I have never used coffee beans before, I assume you can eat them as they are from the packet? I have had chocolate covered coffee beans before so thought it might be nice for coffee lovers this year

Thanks in advance

Well i got my other half a bunch of chocolate coated coffee beans (they looked like the peanuts/raisons you get) and put them in a clean coffee shop coffee cup with a lid for one of his birthday gifts and they were delicious and he loved them! Just enought bean and just enough coffee I'm not sure if it would have the same effect it is was a bean surrounded in a lot of chocolate in a mould but then again it could be lovey! Good on you for making interesing chocolates

There are quite a few ideas of how to do these on Pinterest and they are delish! You've inspired me to do some too x
