Coffee beans in chocolate are a refined treat from European culinary tradition that combines two powerful flavors: rich, bitter coffee and delicate, sweet chocolate. This combination was popular among the aristocracy as early as the 19th century when chocolate began to be used to soften the strength of coffee drinks. Crunchy beans coated with a thick layer of dark chocolate create the perfect balance between bitterness and sweetness, awakening taste buds and providing an energy boost. These candies are ideal as an elegant accompaniment to a cup of espresso or cappuccino and as a sophisticated snack throughout the day. The simplicity of preparation makes this dessert accessible even for culinary beginners, while the variety of possible variations allows for experimentation with different types of chocolate and coffee roasting.
