This quick and easy coffee bean bark recipe makes a lovely gift for the coffee lover!

Easy Coffee Bean Bark Recipe

My family was skeptical when I brought home chocolate coated coffee beans. They were pretty sure they would taste bitter, but after trying the chocolate coated coffee beans they all thought they tasted great. My husband said, “Coffee beans taste as good as coffee smells”. My husband and daughter pondered why the coffee beans tasted better than they expected and decided it was probably the fact that they were coated in chocolate. I told them to hold on because those coffee beans were about to get even better!

My daughter said my Coffee Bean Bark looked like a Jackson Pollock painting:

How to Make Coffee Bean Bark

I made my coffee bean bark by melting chocolate and topping it with the chocolate coated coffee beans. Then I used my Cupcake Injector Decorating Set to pipe melted chocolate over the top of the bark. I used the wider injector tip to apply the white chocolate and then the smallest tip to add dark chocolate. I am not very proficient at using the frosting decorator yet, so it doesn’t look very elegant. Fortunately, the bark is broken into pieces and nobody needs to know what it looked like prior to being broken unless you decide to publish the picture on the internet.

    Not a coffee drinker myself but I know a few “addicts” who would love this! This would be great to add to a cookie/candy plate for them. I’ve got a few questions though. First, can I just buy coffee beans at the store and cover them in chocolate myself? That would probably be cheaper. Would I have to do anything to the beans first like roast them or boil them or,…something? i know coffee beans must be really hard because they make special grinders for them so I’m guessing they must need something to soften them up a bit first. Like I said, not a coffee drinker so I just don’t know. Thanks for any info on this.

    This looks absolutely divine. But I am not sure the chocolate covered coffee beans would last long enough to make the bark. I have stopped buying them as I find them to addictive! The combination of the caffeine and sugar hit I get is diabolical.

    Oh, no you did not just put chocolate covered coffee beans on top of chocolate and then top it off with more chocolate!

    You are my hero.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
