For the Coating

1 cup whole coffee beans (preferably dark roast)
8 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil

Optional Toppings

1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1 tablespoon cocoa powder

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 350°F.

5Alternatively, microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until fully melted and glossy.
6Add the cooled coffee beans to the melted chocolate and stir gently until every bean is evenly coated.
