Most of your local coffee shops will probably carry them, as well as variations. I haven’t encountered any really bad tasting ones, it depends on the brand of chocolate used.
I fourth, fifth, and sixth the dark chocolated covered beans. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, <smack, drool>. It’s not quite as good as sex, but it’s cheap, portable, and you can enjoy them with your clothes on.
Hmmm, sex and dark chocolate espresso beans. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I’m heading over to Nib’s coffee house tonight, I’ll make sure I pick up a bag.
I scoured all over Target looking for them earlier today but to no avail. Finally gave up and headed to Starbucks and found a bag…I do believe I have officially given up sleep for the next 50 years.
Cappuccino chocolate covered espresso beans - coffee beans covers in layers of white and dark chocolate. drool
Oh… I don’t know. I must not eat 'em right. I chew 'em up, swallow the melted chocolated and then I’m left with a mouthfull of coffee grounds. Ecch.
Oh Yes!
They are so good.
But, as several other posters have said, if you have too many you will be counting the cracks in the bedroom cieling all night.
If anyone ever wants to seduce me all they have to do is buy me a big ag of those beautiful beans.
And I like to suck the chocolate off firstand then chew on the coffee grinds. I guess I am just a weirdo.
They make me feel like Beavis aka Cornholio
They don’t actually have that much effect on me. And I’ve had an idea - well, Gyrate had the idea, in this thread of chocolate covered espresso bean cookies. Yummm…
I got hooked on those years ago. I love 'em like nobody’s business. A word of caution, though: I made the mistake of eating a quarter-pound bag in one sitting and it gave me a bitch of a stomach ache.
I was once given a gift basket with a candy bar in it - dark chocolate with coffee beans. It was huge; the size of one of those King-Size 3 Musketeers bars.
I ate the whole thing in one sitting. I didn’t stop quivering for days.
The lady and I refer to them as “Cornholio candy”.
It never fails that when I have them (rarely) I always eat too many of them and then I am bouncing off the walls.
So, how does this work? Are they really crunchy and not too threatening to one’s teeth, or do they have the consistency of, say, a raw almond?
In any case, I feel really inspired all of a sudden.
They’re pretty crunchy but certainly not teeth-threatening.
They are quite good.
Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans, yes,Yes,YES,OGODINHEAVENYES!!! ahem… These are rather good.
They don’t in other places?
I have to admit, I read the OP and thought “at the store, of course, where you get the rest of your food.”
Another reason to feel lucky to live in WA.
“Quite good” he says. Ha. :rolleyes: That’s an understatement.
They’re crunchy, alright. Like crunchy heroin. Like crack dipped in fine chocolate.
Horribly, terribly addicting. And ever so yummy.
The trick is to eat them fast. Crunch them just a little, then swallow quick before all the chocolate is gone.
I have to ask, but is ‘chocolate covered espresso beans’ a brand name or is there a coffee bean specifically for making espresso? Excuse my ignorance but i’m British…we only drink tea you know…
