I love these simple dippers almost as much as I love truffles. Never underestimate the power of 'easy'!
Ingredients :
1 cup coffee beans (I like using espresso beans), raisins and/or nuts
1 1/2 cup chocolate chunks, bits or pieces
3 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
Melt chocolate in a bowl or pan over another pan with boiling water in it.
Place 1/3 of the coffee beans, fruit or nuts in the melted chocolate. Stir around until coated. Remove your coated items from the chocolate with a fork and place on wax paper. Do not allow them to touch each other. Continue coating your items until all are finished.
If desired, roll your chocolate covered confections in cocoa powder or powdered sugar before they harden completely.
Let your chocolate covered items harden overnight. If you are in a hurry, put them in the freezer for half an hour. I highly recommend hardening at room temperature.
